MTS Records country recording artist Ashley Puckett poses for a photo on Thursday, Jan. 16, 2020. Puckett’s debut record, “Never Say Never,” was released on Friday.

The title of North Huntingdon native Ashley Puckett’s debut album “Never Say Never,” which was released Friday, is more than just a well-known turn of phrase.

“There was a time I really wasn’t sure music would go any farther for me, except performing open mic nights here and there and working long hours during the day,” said Puckett, 28.

Below, Puckett discusses the creation of her first record.

Puckett’s country debut was produced by Bryan Cole, and the lead single, “Bulletproof,” has received more than 90,000 Spotify streams.

“Life pulls you in so very many directions, and I never gave up,” Puckett said. “I met the right people at the right time and here we are. So, a lesson to me and anyone reading this right now: never say never.”
