Amanda Shires (from the album Take It Like a Man available on ATO Records)
Putting faith in the sound she hears, Amanda Shires delivers a spinning wheel of musical possibilities in Take It Like a Man, her recent release. A slow turning cabaret mood covers her take on “Lonely at Night” as somber piano notes create a foundation on the late-night noir of “Fault Lines”. Echoey Americana floats like thunderheads above “Don’t Be Alarmed” and modern Pop sensibilities make “Bad Behavior” shimmer. The songs in her head are a jukebox worth of diversity, and Amanda Shires capably guides multiples styles over the tracks of Take It Like a Man.
Her roles as bandmember in The Highwomen and Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit showcase the musical talents of Amanda Shires. Take It Like a Man expands her breadth. The Soul of “Stupid Love”, the Roots rumble of Take it Like a Man opening cut “Hawk for the Dove”, the soft Rock roll of “Empty Cups”, and the elegant beauty of “Everything Has It’s Time”; Amanda Shires confidently steers the songs on the album through a variety of musical channels. Random notes and rhythms form a fractured melody as Amanda Shires reads the title track with tough determination.
