I guess there’s a lot of wrecking and ruination,” says Amanda Shires, the singer-songwriter from Lubbock, Texas, whose new album, Down Fell the Doves, comes out on August 6. “When I was writing these songs, I broke a fiddle on stage and broke my finger in three spots and was fresh out of a breakup.”
