Less than two weeks remain until Amanda Shires unveils her new album Take It Like A Man on July 29th and she has shared the project’s third single “Empty Cups,” which follows the recently released “Hawk For The Dove” and title track. Featuring her Highwomen colleague Maren Morris on harmony vocals and her husband Jason Isbell on guitar, “Empty Cups” unfolds as a sobering examination of a love grown distant and disenchanted with time, bolstered by Shires’ emotive voice that captivates in conveying fragility and heartache in the tradition of such vocal luminaries as Patty Griffin, Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton.

"I recorded ‘Empty Cups’ after everyone left because I didn’t want to accidentally cry or get a shaky voice in front of my friends," Shires explains in an official statement. "I asked Maren to sing on this one because our voices blend like sisters and because I knew that wherever my voice wavered, she’d be steady."

Watch a special live performance of the single below and mark your calendars for Take It Like A Man’s arrival later this month.
