Amanda Shires has shared her new single “Take It Like A Man,” which is the title track from her forthcoming new album out July 29 on ATO Records.
Co-written by Shires and producer Lawrence Rothman, “Take It Like A Man” features Jason Isbell on guitar. The track’s music video, filmed by Weston Heflin, was recorded at Columbia Records studio in Nashville, whose lauded history includes hosting such artists as Bob Dylan, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Buddy Holly and many more.
The upcoming album is a confessional featuring 10 tracks written and recorded during lockdown. Maren Morris and Brittney Spencer offer up guest vocals on the set of candid tunes written by Shires about her life as a woman, a wife (to her husband Jason Isbell) and a mother during a tumultuous time.
