• Track Listing

The Highwomen are a new band, but the members need no introduction: Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris, Amanda Shires, and Natalie Hemby are the Highwomen and this, their debut album, has been long-awaited since rumblings of the project surfaced about a year ago. Motivated by the minimal presence of women on country radio (a format still dominated by males), recording sessions with produced Dave Cobb took place at Nashville’s historic RCA Studio A in early 2019. The group’s name is no misnomer. They modeled themselves as the female Nelson/Cash/Jennings/Kristofferson and even re-wrote the album’s lead-off track "Highwoman" with "Highwayman" co-writer Jimmy Webb. Other co-writers joining the project include Lori McKenna, Miranda Lambert, Ray LaMontagne, Jason Isbell and more while guest performers include Isbell, Cobb, Sheryl Crow and Yola. Single (and the country cameo-filled video) "Redesigning Women" has already racked up nearly a million views on youtube. Those tracks join "Loose Change," "My Name Can’t Be Mama," "If She Ever Leaves Me," "My Only Child," "Cocktail and a Song" and the rest of what is sure to be one of the best country albums of the year! 12 tracks in all. Low Country Sound / Elektra.
