Country Standard Time sets their sights on “A Million Stars”:
On the fourth album released on her label, Home Perm, Ashleigh Flynn continues to do what she’s always done best: seduce us with lively stories backed by tender, raucous, and rollicking instrumentals. In the tales on “A Million Stars,” Flynn celebrates and recovers for our view the lives of the numerous women – some well-known, such as Calamity Jane, but others unnamed – who participated in the westward expansion but whose exploits often go untold. Her long-time collaborator Chris Funk, of The Decemberists and Black Prairie, produced the album and plays multiple instruments on it, and her pals Todd Snider, Annalisa Tornfelt and others join her on the excursion.
