Amanda Shires has announced a new album called Nobody’s Girl. The follow-up to 2022’s Take It Like a Man arrives September 26 via ATO. Today’s announcement comes with the release of the stirring new single ‘A Way It Goes’, which opens with the lyrics, “I can show you how he left me/ Paint a picture, growing flowers for nobody/ But I’d rather you see me thriving.” Check it out below.
Nobody’s Girl was produced by Lawrence Rothman and co-written by Shires and Rothman. It marks Shires’ first album since her divorce from Jason Isbell. “Nobody’s Girl is what came after the wreckage, the silence, the rebuilding,” she said in a press release. “It’s about standing in the aftermath of a life you thought would last forever and realizing no one is coming to save you.”
Recorded at Sound Emporium Studios in Nashville, the record features Fred Eltringham and Julian Dorio on drums, Dominic Davis on bass, Peter Levin on keys, Zach Setchfield on guitar, and Rothman on guitar. Friedman also tracked at Rothman Recorders in Los Angeles, CA, with Jay Bellerose on drums, Pino Palladino and Jimbo Hart on bass, Joe Kennedy on piano and guitar, and Rothman again on guitar.
