In 2004, at the age of twenty-one she released "Not Always Sexy" as her first album followed by "Live at Mississippi Studios" in 2006 which was hailed as "spellbinding across the spectrum, and a standout whose star is on the rise" by the Portland Tribune. In 2009, Amanda released "Who Has Your Heart" to great reviews and a growing fan base, with music from the album being picked up by radios stations of different genres. Her latest studio album, the post-apocalyptic, zombie-themed "Play Dead" (2010), was praised by the Portland Mercury as “sweet and enduring, despite Richards’s bloody lyrical content.
