"Manning Fireworks" created by MJ Lenderman in Las Vegas Nevada represents an excellent artistic work which explores loneliness and coping mechanisms through its lyrics. The album presents its concept through harmonica music alongside alt-country notes while self-reflective lyrics create portraits of various characters. By both the friendly tone and slightly indistinct delivery of Lenderman's voice listeners are drawn into his storeys while they remember their personal experiences. Each progressive sound in the musical series enhances the emotional intensity of its underlying lyrics. The music operates as both entertainment and emotive content because each song forms a singular flowing storey about Lenderman’s emotional musical mastery. The final song in the album "Manning Fireworks" serves both to enhance Shields' music catalogue and position him in the Americana movement.
