Watch Amanda Shires sing Joe Diffie’s “John Deere Green”
“Heard this one a lot when I was a kid. We’d have to go pick up pecans from the pecan orchard — that’s what I did when I was a kid, sell pecans. This one would always come on [the radio], so I remember it a lot,” Shires said to introduce the song, a tale of small-town romance involving green spray paint and a water-tower love note that read “Billy Bob loves Charlene.”, and a solo version of the title track to the Highwomen’s 2019 album.
The performance was Shires’ 10th or so livestreamed set, which she has been producing since the coronavirus pandemic forced musicians around the country off the road.
