WoodSongs Monday April 11th:
Amanda Shires is a singing fiddle-playing Texan that just released her second solo CD called "Carrying Lightning." She deftly employs her fiddle/violin, ukulele and even whistling ... the resulting sound is a beautiful but woozily surrealistic swoon.
Amanda, was recently seen in the Hollywood movie Country Strong where she played the fiddle player in the band backing Gwyneth Paltrow's fictional country superstar.amandashires.net
