Wednesday Jam: Amanda Marshall, “Dark Horse”
From the very first note I heard Amanda Marshall sing, she became one of my very favorite vocalists. She went through hell in the music industry ( a depressingly common occurrence), and basically retired from performing and recording after making three great records. This sadly under-appreciated song is from her eponymous first album, still one of my most frequent playlists, and not dated at all.
In 2012, there was word that she was working on a new record, but so far it hasn’t appeared: Amanda Marshall’s career comes full circle.
