Ashley Cooke is set to release her sophomore album ‘ace’ on Nov. 14.
Cooke posted on Instagram: “9 songs. one story. “ace” is yours 11/14 ”  

The nine-track project – which is named for Cooke’s childhood nickname given to her by her father — was produced by Dann Huff, with Cooke co-writing seven of the nine tracks alongside Emily Weisband, Johnny Clawson and Kyle Sturrock, and more.

‘ace’ marks Cooke’s first project since her 2023 debut LP, Shot In The Dark.  She shared a statement her socials: “It’s been about two and a half years since my debut record was released. So many incredible, bucket-list things filled the days after with the best people I could ever imagine getting to share them with. But life has a funny way of spitting rain when you think it’s gonna be a sunny day. I swear, one thing hit after another. I lost some of the most important people in my life, and health issues in my family piled up left and right. Love came, and love went. This music is derived from those real situations. It’s brutal honesty. It’s a story in chronological order. And it’s a collection of songs welcoming you to the next chapter.”

Cooke is currently on the road in November with Parker McCollum, Dustin Lynch, Brad Paisley, Lee Brice, Dylan Scott and more, while also headlining select shows and appearing at major festivals.
