Happy birthday to Whitney Collection artist Jenny Holzer! UNEX Sign #1 (Selections from the Survival Series) from 1983 is one of the artist’s earliest works to present her Truisms—one-line aphorisms written by Holzer—with LED technology, a state-of the art means of public communication for government and institutional agencies. At the time of its making, the piece’s 54 statements may have been mistaken for ads, instructions, or public announcements. In a media-saturated world in which news and ads flash by for passive viewers, Holzer uses this instrument of communication to call us to attention.

Amanda Shires is known for her folksy, Americana sound. In 2017, Shires was named the Americana Music Association’s Emerging Artist of the Year and she frequently lends her voice and style to her husband Jason Isbell’s band, The 400 Unit. But her new solo record, To the Sunset, moves away from her normal style, taking on more pop sounds with crunched guitars and layered vocals.

Shires came to NPR in Washington, D.C. to perform songs from the new album and talk to NPR’s Don Gonyea about the stories behind them, as well as about being a woman in country music and new motherhood.

“I must confess I hate the thought of this. Change doesn’t come easy. For anyone. But this state of war we live in, this world on fire provides us with no other choice.”
