  • About this album: Written and recorded in the aftermath of her highly publicized divorce from Jason Isbell, the album is an unflinching exploration of autonomy, grief, anger, resilience, and self-definition. Musically, it blends Americana, folk-rock, and subtle country textures with Shires’s expressive violin work and sharply observational songwriting. An excellent album, unfortunately somewhat overshadowed by an exceptional year in new music releases, including Isbell's own post-divorce folk masterpiece that shows up elsewhere on this list.
  • Metacritic Score: 78 (generally favorable reviews).
  • Awards / Nominations: Americana Music Association Awards nominee for Album of the Year.
  • Song To Sample: "The Details," a devastatingly honest track about the aftermath of her marriage, featuring sharp lyrics about rewriting memories and feeling erased.
