Cool Little Bars - Ashley McBryde - MP3 instrumental karaoke

On her 2023 single, Ashley McBryde conjures vivid images of "Cool Little Bars" with 'cigarette machines by the shuffleboard' and "a coin-drop jukebox full of songs you don't hear much anymore. Co-written with fellow country star Lainey Wilson, "Cool Little Bars" finds Ashley McBryde getting nostalgic about the kind of cosy dive bars and dens that are under constant threat of extinction. "I pray time just forgets to turn places like this / Into drive-throughs and condos / Lord knows we need those little holes in the wall / For lost souls and old stray dogs / God bless two for ones and broken hearts / And cool little bars," she sings, bringing in a touch of harmonica to amp up the retro sentiments. "Cool Little Bars" is the opening track of Ashley McBryde's fourth studio album The Devil I Know, which was anchored by lead single "Light On in the Kitchen" and gave the Arkansas-born artist a number one LP on the UK Country Albums chart.
