Later that year, she released her debut single "Takin' Off This Pain", which peaked at #20 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts in early 2008 and served as the lead-off single to her debut album Sounds So Good, which also produced a #21 in its title track.
Biography
Ashton Shepherd was born August 16, 1986 in Coffeeville, Alabama. She began singing at an early age, and started writing songs at age five. By age eight, she had entered her first talent competition, where she sang Patsy Cline songs, and soon afterward, she began performing at various local venues as well. Her parents helped her finance a self-titled CD, which she released independently at age fifteen. In June 2006, she entered and won a talent contest in Gilbertown, Alabama. The prize was being the opening act for Lorrie Morgan in concert. Shepherd won the opening slot, and while performing as Morgan's opener, she was spotted by a representative of MCA Nashville Records, who then signed her to the label in April 2007.
Her debut single, "Takin' Off This Pain", was released in September 2007, the same month in which she made her debut on the Grand Ole Opry. The song, which peaked at #20 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, was the first single from her debut album Sounds So Good, which was produced by Buddy Cannon and released on March 4, 2008.[2] She also appeared on CMT's Unplugged at Studio 330 Television program and subsequent interview March 5, 2008. The album's second single, its title track, was released in May 2008 and peaked at #21.
Shepherd third single, "Look It Up", was reviewed by The 9513, who gave a "thumbs up" rating citing the song has clever lyrics, and Shepherd’s intense twang elevates the invective even further. The song was released to country radio on January 3, 2011 as the lead-off single to her second album for MCA Nashville. It debuted at number 55 on the country charts for chart week ending January 15, 2011. The song entered the Top 40 of the charts in its third week and it has becomed her second Top 20.
