Ashby Frank’s “Midnight Highway” Goes No. 1 On Bluegrass Today Chart
DESCRIPTION:
Co-written with Jack McKeon, Ashby Frank’s “Run This Town” is a 90s-vibe country ballad about local bar “regulars”—how even when ownership changes, the people and conversations stay the same. Blending stories from McKeon’s New York roots and Frank’s Nashville neighborhood, the track features moody pedal steel by session ace Steve Hinson. Serving as the title track to his new album, the song paints a careful portrait of faded dreams and quiet disappointments.
