Strikingly desolate and fragile, while at times recalling the likes of Victoria Williams and Mazzy Star on Last One Standing, make no mistake Ashley Riley has an utterly gorgeous voice and a sound all her own. Sometimes warm and affectionate on songs like “Bad Habits,” Riley is more often heartbroken and regretful, which (on her) comes off beautifully as tracks like “Way Back” and “Good Excuse” illustrate. Appearing: Every Wednesday at Blocks Brewery in Decatur.(www.ashleyriley.com) |
