Amanda is a chameleon and an amazing songwriter. Cannot get enough of her.

Such a beautiful song by an equally talented and beautiful lady. I just found Amanda after finding Jason and listening to her play with him. I knew she had her own band but hadn't checked it out yet because I have been so enthralled with Jason, so when I finally took a look and found her stuff all I can say is wow. A very unique style that should be blowing up the air waves. This lady is every bit as special as her husband and I love the way these two support and build each other.

Amanda Shires... the Enchanted Princess of Alternative Country.

I can’t figure out what’s more captivating - this wonderful song, your eyes, your dimples, or that beautiful smile …

I saw Amanda as support for John Prine at the London Palladium in April 2017. This song stood out in her set even then, despite the heat of anticipation engendered by the proximity of one of one's musical heroes. Since then it has stood up on its own for me and I have played it many times. This video ain't too shabby either!

its a nervous confidence... her voice, the lyrics... she and Jason, what a duo...

[jamesj]

There is something magic about the way she slides from minor to major on the harmony in "belieeeeve me." Very cool stuff.

[Lumbar]

Beautiful song and, I must admit, one of the sexiest videos I've ever seen.

[arooshsingh]

One of the best songs I've ever heard . I mean like a real song like this one.

[OneBadSSG]

The emotion in her voice is so powerful. I'm glad the train never came.

Amanda we need a compilation album with classics like this gem

[larrylolo]

I crazy over this song! Big hugs to Amanda ♥️

[richardhitti]

This song is sweet as Porto wine; I hope we'll see more Country women songs as such.
This is Americana and it's simply beautiful \Thank you Amanda 🍀

Great song. Jason Isbell you are a lucky man

[paulelliott]

Beautiful and glad that train never came
When the violin comes in it's magical
Great song, great writing and cool video - great album too

[Kate-Does]

Love it. I'm bummed I'm just discovering her now, but I'm glad I did!

[genXrVT]

I said it before and I'll say it again - she is so Nanci Griffith. Love her.

[rocketpost]

Great song, great vocal and the intriguing Amanda. She has such a strong presence.

[susanssoulshines]

Such a cute video and song, different but still has a story behind it. I love songs that do, altho it's not totally needed all the time. Not many women will go w/out makeup and do a closeup like this, of course she's adorable so who cares, right?! I admire her  unusual taste, which is a compliment, in all of her work.

more I hear this song the more I like it
