To mark the 48th anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, which established a woman's legal right to an abortion across the United States, Amanda Shires has released a star-studded new single, 'Our Problem'. She's joined on the track by Cyndi Lauper, Peaches, Linda Perry, Angie Stone, Valerie June, K. Flay, Lilly Hiatt, Morgane Stapleton, Nona Hendryx and more. The single also features Sheryl Crow on bass, and Shires' husband, Jason Isbell, on guitar.

The track is a reworking of 'The Problem', a duet with Isbell that Shires first released in September. Shires and Isbell are set to perform the song on tonight's episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

All proceeds from both 'The Problem' and 'Our Problem' benefit the Yellowhammer Fund, the abortion rights and reproductive justice organisation.
