When an artist in any field – music, writing, visual arts – is hugely successful in one genre or strand of their work, it is undoubtedly a risk to shift to something new. Creatively it may not turn out the same way, and the audience may not go with you. Amy Sheppard is a member of the chart-topping Australian band Sheppard and this year she has released a solo EP, Nothing But Wild, which is an instantly memorable collection of country pop songs which prove that her instincts about great songwriting and performance carry over from one genre to another – and fans agree, with the songs from Nothing But Wild racking up hundreds of thousands of streams. Recently we spoke about songwriting and country music and the pandemic delay of Nothing But Wild, amongst other things.
