Press Snippets:
"Ashleigh Flynn, Kentucky angel shines with national debut!" - Women Who Rock, May 2003
"A Kentucky girl with an adventurous sonic sensibility."
- Sing Out, Spring 2003
"There''s a breathy ache in Ashleigh Flynn''s husky voice. Flynn sprinkles her abum (Chokecherry) with peppy pop that''s got an off-kilter slant to it. If "Isa" doesn''t make you believe she''s got it, "Don''t You Believe" will."
- Santa Monica Mirror, January 2003
"As it is, Flynn is an amazing artist with immense talents - not the least her magnetic voice. This is an intense and convincing album that holds great promise for the future."
- Ink19, December 2002
"Singer Songwriter Ashleigh Flynn''s vocals are the focus, make no mistake, but one of the joys of her new CD, ChokeCherry, is the intricate and unobtrusive production that acts as a setting for that jewel of a voice."
- The Oregonian, November 2002
"Ashleigh Flynn - a darling of the NW Americana scene... promoting her new CD, Chokecherry build upon her strengths of marrying styles such as bluegrass to pop, and instrumentation dobro to drum beats, she adds a smoky soulful voice and mournful doe eyes to the package..."
