Amanda Shires’ Long Trek

Arriving Sept. 16, Shires’ My Piece Of Land album was recorded with award-winning producer Dave Cobb at his Low Country Sound studio.  Described as “a very personal account” of what the artist was experiencing during the creation process, the album includes several songs written while the artist was seven months pregnant, resulting in a very personal and self-reflective work.
