Amanda Shires Takes New Album DOWN FELL THE DOVES on the Road; European Tour Set for Nov 2013

Amanda Shires' new album, Down Fell The Doves, has already been praised by NPR's All Things Considered and the Wall Street Journal, and it's just now available in stores. The album's 11 original songs feature Amanda's sharpest writing to date, brought to life by a voice that melts, a fiddle that sears, and guitars - played for the most part by her husband, Jason Isbell - that scrape and howl.
