What We’re Listening To: Amanda Shires


Amanda Shires 2022 release “Take It Like A Man” has been recognized by The New York Times as one of the top albums of 2022.
“Here’s the spirit of outlaw country in 2022: a fearless woman gathering all her strength and belting out her truths with a poet’s diction and a bird of prey’s voice. “Come on, I dare you, make me feel something again,” the singer/songwriter/fiddle player Amanda Shires trills at the beginning of “Take It Like a Man,” and then she spends the next 40 minutes rising to her own challenge.”
Amanda (above, left) also joined The Highwomen last month, performing at Kennedy Center Honors. Congrats Amanda!
