Americana Singer/Songwriter's 8th Solo Album on Vinyl LP!
Featuring the Haunting Yet Hopeful "A Way It Goes"!

GRAMMY Award-winning singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Amanda Shires returns with Nobody's Girl, her most powerful body of work yet, and the follow-up to her widely acclaimed 2022 album Take It Like a Man.

Amanda has never been afraid to blur genre lines, but Nobody's Girl is not about sonic boundaries, it's about emotional ones. Produced by Lawrence Rothman, the album explores themes of heartbreak and loss, resilience, self-discovery and empowerment. As Amanda explains, "Nobody's Girl is what came after the wreckage, the silence, the rebuilding. It's about standing in the aftermath of a life you thought would last forever and realizing no one is coming to save you."

The 12-track record features Amanda's moving vocals and signature fiddle playing set to meticulously crafted songs ranging from achingly raw ballads to rock-infused anthems. It was recorded at Sound Emporium Studios in Nashville, TN, with Fred Eltringham and Julian Dorio on drums, Dominic Davis on bass, Peter Levin on keys, Zach Setchfield on guitar, and Rothman on guitar as well. Amanda also tracked at Rothman Recorders in Los Angeles, CA, with Jay Bellerose (drums), Pino Palladino (bass), Jimbo Hart (bass), Joe Kennedy (piano, guitar), and Rothman again on guitar. In addition to the fiddle, Amanda can also be heard playing tenor guitar and ukulele.

Since getting her start playing fiddle with the legendary Texas Playboys at the young age of 15, Amanda Shires has brought her nuanced songwriting and boundless originality to a series of solo albums, collaborated with the likes of John Prine, and earned the 2017 Emerging Artist of the Year prize from the Americana Music Association (AMA). Amanda is the founder of The Highwomen — a supergroup she performs in alongside Natalie Hemby, Maren Morris and Brandi Carlile. In 2022 she released the lauded album Take It Like a Man which landed on many "Best of 2022" lists including NPR, The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, Stereogum and BrooklynVegan to name a few. She also collaborated with the late, great pianist and singer Bobbie Nelson on the album Loving You — a poignant collection of reimagined favorites of both artists.
