Amanda Shires Confirms New Album ‘Take It Like A Man’ & Shares Single
Morris appears on the third single from Take It Like A Man as well as Isbell. Consequence premiered a live performance video for the song and described it as “a lyrical tour-de-force, as the narrator’s focus becomes hooked on shimmering details that seem important in the wake of a calamity.” And added: “When Morris joins in the chorus…her delicate voice floats above Shires’ powerful belt like smoke over glowing hot coals.”
“I recorded ‘Empty Cups’ after everyone left because I didn’t want to accidentally cry or get a shaky voice in front of my friends,” Shires revealed. “I asked Maren to sing on this one because our voices blend like sisters and because I knew that wherever my voice wavered, she’d be steady.”
