Her 2018 major label debut&nbsp;<em>Girl Going Nowhere<\/em>&nbsp;(Warner Music Nashville) charmed the&nbsp;<em>New York Times<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>NPR<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Rolling Stone<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Paste<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>The Washington Post<\/em>, and more, all en route to landing a GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album. McBryde closed out 2019 with ACM New Female Artist, CMT Breakout Artist of the Year, a New Artist of the Year win at the 53rd&nbsp;Annual CMA Awards and two nominations for the 2020 GRAMMYs for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance for &#8220;Girl Goin&#8217; Nowhere.&#8221; Her follow-up&nbsp;<em>Never Will,&nbsp;<\/em>released April 3, was tagged by&nbsp;<em>Rolling Stone<\/em>&nbsp;as one of the most anticipated of the year alongside NPR, who also ranked her lead Top 10 RIAA Gold-Certified single &#8220;One Night Standards&#8221; as one of the best songs of 2019. Produced once again by Jay Joyce,&nbsp;<em>Never Will<\/em>&nbsp;reveals the witty, confessional, detail-driven songwriting addressing a wide spectrum of blue-collar Southern women&#8217;s experience introduced on&nbsp;<em>Girl Going Nowhere<\/em>&nbsp;is still here, but perhaps even sharper, earning McBryde a 2021 GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album, along with 2021 ACM nominations for Album of the Year, Female Artist of the Year and song of the year for lead single &#8220;One Night Standards.&#8221; The music itself is stadium-ready rock-and-roll with a bluegrass wink or two and country music&#8217;s storytelling heart\u2013\u2013and McBryde, no longer new, is the music&#8217;s ordained and highly capable standard bearer.
