Back For Me is a powerhouse set moving from the Chicago-via-Texas churn of “Masterpiece” to the aching gospel-soul-funk of Bill Withers’ “The Same Love That Made Me Laugh”. There’s heartache and heartbreak, but at the same time self-awareness and accountability and the strength and power that comes from that. In other words, it’s the blues.

The name Fish will probably ring a bell to many, as Amanda is the sister of Samantha Fish. Amanda's voice sounds just a little deeper, rougher and more powerful.
