When is country music not country music? The answer could well be when it’s played by Amanda Shires who has developed her own personal take on the very heart of Americana. To The Sunset is yet another kaleidoscopic smorgasbord of simple but beautifully effective music that is impossible to not be captivated by.
Her voice has a focus that stops it being twee, while her song writing is stripped back but intensely complex. So much so you find yourself replaying golden moments to check you just heard it right. This is a defining moment in a career that has been threatening to got stratospheric for some time.
