the blessed rain

The Blessed Rain is Ashley's third album, and features some of her most beautiful music yet. Ashley collaborated with Paris and London's finest West African musicians for this pure and sparkling record. Bringing to mind Paul Simon, Youssou N'Dour and Joni Mitchell, the songs feature Ashley's glorious voice, intricate harmonies, and rich African/Latin rhythms, all woven together with the lyrics of a true poet. Clean and uplifting World / folk / jazz
