A member of the short-lived Albion Country Band in the early '70s, Ashley has continued to perform in a variety of settings.
His harmonica playing can be heard on albums by Plainsong, Marc Ellington, Richard Thompson, Ashley Hutchings, and Mike D'Abo.
Melody Maker declared that he was "one of the finest singer/songwriters in Britain, if not the entire English-speaking world."
Upon release, Steve Ashley's debut album was rated The Sunday Telegraph's folk album of the year, and even landed its maker
a U.S. deal with Motown, which released it to wild acclaim in America in 1975.
Across the board, Ashley seemed set for a powerful career. Instead, he all but vanished, releasing new albums with infuriating irregularity
and condemning Stroll On to a "lost treasure" status that wholly undervalues its importance.
Stroll On was originally recorded in 1971 (Ashley suffered some 30 rejections before Gull finally picked it up),
but the timelessness of its contents barely registered the delay. The sparse accompaniment of a band built around
drummer Dave Mattacks, but diversifying to encompass tablas, concertina, pedal steel (the redoubtable B.J. Cole),
fretless bass, and, on one occasion, the Albion Band, offers an exquisite backdrop to Ashley's thoughtful,
almost foreboding voice, yet is happy to remain subservient to it...(AllMusic)
