I was not a fan when I first heard her years ago - - - but this new stuff is phenomenal!! I listened to an interview recently where (it sounds like) she really let people in the industry try to change her sound. I'm glad she cut loose. Talented - gorgeous - smart - genuine.

She's a deeply complicated and fascinating artist and along with Jason make a team to really root for!

SHE is one of the most talented bright and entertaining women singers today.

Been listening to Amanda for a good while, this is just the second interview ive seen. It seems like she's coming off a hard time, i heard JTEs passing wasnt easy on either of them either. Whatever it is Amanda, do what you do best play those feelings are all out there.. And BTW "Hawk for the dove".. The whole theme of it and the look is stunning. You're stunning. Mamas back out to play again!

Ok this is beautifully awesome and I'm just through one song. She is so vibrant! Got to the John Prine part. Saddle in the Rain is the one Prine song I know how to play with zero review.
