The Highwomen

Description

New Country Supergroup featuring Brandi Carlie, Natalie Hemby, Maren Morris and Amanda Shires!

The Highwomen (a play on The Highwaymen supergroup featuring Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings) is a new, highly anticipated, collaborative movement formed by Brandi Carlie, Natalie Hemby, Maren Morris and Amanda Shires. Anyone can be a Highwoman, Carlile notes. Its about banding together, abandoning as much ego as humanly possible, holding one another up and amplifying other women every chance we get. Shoulder to shoulder. One push, one love.

Continually demonstrating the importance of inclusion and collaboration, The Highwomen are joined by several guest musicians, vocalists and songwriters across the albums 12-tracks. The project features Sheryl Crow(background vocals, bass), Yola (vocals, background vocals), Dave Cobb (acoustic/electric guitar), Jason Isbell(acoustic/electric guitar), Phil Hanseroth (bass, background vocals), Tim Hanseroth (guitar, background vocals), Chris Powell (drums) and Peter Levin (piano and keyboards) with songs written by Carlile, Hemby, Morris, Shires, Isbell, the Hanseroth twins, Rodney Clawson, Lori McKenna, Miranda Lambert and Ray LaMontagne among many others.

Lead single Redesigning Women was penned by Natalie and Rodney Clawson and produced by Dave Cobb. Redesigning Women is the life most women are living today, says Natalie. We juggle so much in 24 hours and I wanted to write a song that reflected the goodness, the madness and the hilarity of it all.
