I Cross My Heart

Ashley Lewis Reimagines I Cross My Heart with a Bluegrass Twist

NASHVILLE, TN — Bluegrass artist Ashley Lewis announces the release of her heartfelt new single, a reimagined version of I Cross My Heart, originally made famous by George Strait and featured in the 1992 film Pure Country. Arriving 34 years after the original release, Lewis’s version offers a fresh and deeply personal interpretation of the beloved classic.
​
Produced by the highly acclaimed, National Fiddler Hall of Fame member, Jimmy Mattingly, who also contributes fiddle, the track features an all-star lineup including Kent Wells on guitar and Andy Hall on dobro. Lewis delivers vocals and mandolin, blending traditional bluegrass instrumentation with the emotional resonance of this deeply personal song.

While the original recording captured a timeless romantic devotion, Lewis’s version reframes the song through the lens of motherhood. Accompanied by a tender music video, the release transforms the song into a tribute to the unconditional love between a mother and her children.

This single honors both the legacy of the original and the enduring, evolving nature of love across generations.
