Amanda Shires, Take It Like a Man, 2022 on ATO Records

Eighth solo LP from Amanda Shires, recorded at RCA Studio B in Nashville. I’m cautious not to read any songwriter too literally or autobiographically, but it is hard not to (now) read this as foreshadowing her divorce from Jason Isbell, making it part of a group of records about the dissolution of their marriage.

Guests include fellow Highwomen Natalie Hemby and Maren Morris, Isbell, producer Lawrence Rothman, Jimbo Hart (of the 400 Unit), and Fred Eltringham.

My copy—from a Barnes & Noble—is the “B&N Exclusive” on seaglass vinyl, with a fold-out lyrics sheet/poster.
