The new album fromAmanda Shires,Take It Like A Man,is a fearless confessional featuring 10 emotionally raw tracks, produced bythe talented gender-fluid singer-songwriter and producer,Lawrence Rothman, (Angel Olsen, Girl in Red, Courtney Love). Upon hearing Amanda for the first time Lawrence said,I was just mesmerized. I thought she was the new Dolly Parton; Dolly for a new generation.

With the album,Shireshit the reset button and made a record so unlike anything shes ever recorded that it feels like her debut album instead of her seventh. Written and recorded during lockdown,the new record featuresJason Isbellon guitar on several tracks and guest vocals fromMaren Morris,Natalie HembyandBrittney Spencer.

Take It Like A Manis a song cycle of ruthlessly candid tunes written as a document by Amanda about her life as a woman, a wife (to husband Jason Isbell) and a mother during a tumultuous time.
