This woman is truly brilliant. Hidden gem. Please y’all bring her out into the light so she can afford to tour Europe again.

1:30 "How did you start playing with him when you were 15?" "He was dead." I cracked up. Hard. Thanks Amanda!

I now want to hear a duet with Amanda & Harry. We need to make this happen people. Let's start an online petition.

As a solo artist and with The Highwomen, Amanda Shires is a boss. Cool episode & interview.

I love this so much. Not only is her knowledge and reverence of music history so deep, her personality and spunk really shine through. Much like June Carter was to Johnny Cash, her and Jason Isbell make a perfect pair.

I love her. She is so cute as a human being. Their family is just, genuine.

I met her after one of her shows, and she just came up and hugged me like we were old friends, and we talked for a good while about writing. She’s whip smart and sweet and authentic and incredibly talented. I love her music. Her last two albums are my favorites of their respective years.

She seems a little nervous and awkward but she’s hilarious

Bob Wills and Cindy Walker. Right off the bat. Mad respect.

Never heard of Amanda or her music but just based on her personality and influences I'm sure I'm going to love it.

Amanda is the coolest. Learned about a lot of music here that I am looking forward to exploring. She also made my favorite record of the year. Everything's coming up Amanda!

I just checked out some of her music after watching this, and I gotta say she's fantastic! A very talented musician.

Charlie Brown Christmas is my favorite Christmas album too. It’s so dang soothing and makes me feel warm inside. It’s also highly responsible for making me wanna learn about more jazz. I never get tired of hearing it!

if you are new to Amanda due to this video. check out 'the problem'. look up the highwomen. also look up jason isbell and the 400 unit. Amanda has 11 albums i think. she is amazing.

All of Amanda's albums are different and consistently good. Nice to see her chatting in street clothes, just looking like a cool lady from Texas in the record store. She glams it up on stage like no one's business, with a lot of vocal power to go with the songwriting.
