In Their Words: “Our friend, Philippe Bronchtein, who ended up playing dobro and organ on this recording first introduced us to this song a few years ago. There is such a simple beauty and a timeless feeling in Walt Aldridge’s lyrics. It seems like it could just as easily have been written in the 1880s instead of the 1980s. There is a heaviness in the relatability of trying to keep the fire alive in a relationship when we see time take its toll on everything around us. ‘Ain’t No Ash Will Burn’ was the perfect cover song to round out our debut EP featuring original songs about relationships that have burnt out or run their course. While most recorded versions have been done in bluegrass style, we hope you enjoy it this way, too.” — Ezza Rose & Craig Rupert, Blue Darling
