West Cross Timbers is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Amanda Shires. Self-published and released on January 27, 2009, the album was co-produced by Shires, David Henry, and Rod Picott. Cross Timbers is an ecological region which figured in slowing westward expansion by Americans in the 19th century. Profiling her for Lone Star Music Magazine, writer Christopher Oglesby praised Shires' songwriting and noted progression from her previous release, 2005's Being Brave.
