Take It Like A Man - Premium Men's Grooming Kit for Beard Care & Styling | Perfect Gift for Father's Day, Birthday & Special Occasions

I've been an Amanda Shires fan for a long time. Live, or on IsoLounging, she was a brilliant storyteller with a gorgeous voice and a fierce fiddle. But in her recent releases, she's been buried in over production or distorted vocals. I knew that someday she'd break through the noise and deliver something groundbreaking. And this is it. Lawrence Rothman is a flipping genius! They let her voice take center stage. Notes are crisp and clear, the production is lush when needed and sparse when it should be.The lyrics are heart wrenching. Amanda lays bare her life and relationship for us. And in these songs, she's created quiet masterpieces and soaring vocals. She can scorch with a line "Don't threaten me with an open door" and then turn out a quiet plea to stop "little wars". We get her distinctive violin, Jason's ringing guitar, Peter's crystal clear keys, and it's alchemy. And the horns! And background vocals. I could rave about this forever. I'll close with this - I've got the red lp (gorgeous), and am ordering CDs to hand out to friends. Listen to this. It's perfection.
