Album Details

Lindeville, also referred to as Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville, is the third major label release by American country music singer-songwriter Ashley McBryde, released on September 30, 2022, by Warner Music Nashville. Recorded concurrently with her fourth major label record, Lindeville is a concept album centering on a fictional town that is home to the various characters that appear in McBryde's songs and is named in tribute to famous songwriter Dennis Linde. The album was produced by John Osborne, McBryde's close personal friend and member of the duo Brothers Osborne and features a close circle of McBryde and Osborne's collaborators. The album was nominated for Best Country Album at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, and was also included in the top ten of critic Robert Christgau's Dean's List for 2022.

Following the release of her sophomore album Never Will and its associated live album Live from a Distance, McBryde began work on her next project. In an interview with Rolling Stone, she stated that the album initially grew from a songwriting exercise with her friends, explaining that "a few years ago, Aaron Raitiere, Nicolette Hayford and I were on a write. We wrote this song called "Blackout Betty" and I realized we had written previous songs called "Shut Up Sheila" on Never Will and "Livin’ Next to Leroy" on Girl Going Nowhere. Aaron had a song called "Jesus, Jenny" and I thought, 'We should keep these characters together and give them a place to live!'" Describing the creation of the album, McBryde explained "I wanted to lock six writers in a house and just spend six or seven days writing. We stayed in Tennessee in this little house close to a lake. It was eight bottles of tequila, two cartons of cigarettes, one kitchen table and six individuals out of their minds."


McBryde's third studio album had already been completed when she created Lindeville and she submitted both albums to her label simultaneously, stating "I hadn't told anybody that we'd made the Lindeville record! Warner was aware that I was up to something and working on the 'other' record. What everyone was expecting was my 'proper' third record so I'm putting out Lindeville first, which I probably shouldn't be allowed to do for my third album because it's more a 5th or 6th album project. My thinking is that if we shouldn't be allowed to do a record like 'Lindeville' this early in a career then that's the exact reason why we should!"
