Weekend Music

 

Singer/songwriter/musician Amanda Shires writes songs with vivid, evocative imagery -- which makes sense considering she has an MFA in Poetry from the University of the South.  She also has a hard- to- categorize musical style (Americana, with some folk and rock?).   Her latest album, "Take It Like A Man," is also the title of her recent single, a live studio session featuring her husband Jason Isbell, formerly of Drive By Truckers, on guitar).

I was snared by your wrist/ I know what the cost is/  The octaves of consequence/  I know the cost of flight is landing/ and I know I could take it like a man / I know I could take it like a man 

Hope you enjoy.
