Last night, Amanda Shires served as the musical guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. For the segment, the American singer-songwriter and fiddle player performed “Hawk for the Dove” with her husband and musical collaborator Jason Isbell, along with a backing band.
Over the course of the rendition of the song, which appears on Shires’ 2022 Take It Like a Man, Shires and company a grinding country-tinged stomper, full heavy vocal of harmonies and riffs before she allowed her bow hair to carve through the tune with buttery and precise articulation after two and a half minutes in. Isbell and Shires faced each other during the sonic climax.
It’s notable that Shires joined Brandi Carlile, Natalie Hemby and Maren Morris as the Highwomen, who have been making appearances as of late. Read more here.
