Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris, Amanda Shires, and Natalie Hemby empower women, challenge Nashville’s gender barriers on debut album

LP; and Hemby writing hit after hit while launching a career as an artist, one could make the case that the timing couldn’t be worse for such a left-field group project. But for this quartet, the collective mission took precedent over any individual pursuits.

Women are practically ghosts on country radio too, so it’s not hard to understand why female artists like Morris, who had massive crossover success with the Zedd collaboration “The Middle,” might pull away from the genre and gravitate to more welcoming formats like pop and Americana. “The country purists online, they’re the worst,” Isbell says shortly after rolling up a pant leg to show off his “Highwomen” tattoo, as well as some swell printed socks.

“I love that we have songs on this album about shattering female stereotypes to a gay country love song, and songs about losing loved ones,” says Morris. “It’s all real and it’s all country.” For each member, playing music so distinctly country has been part of the Highwomen’s allure. “I love my lane of crazy weird music, but in my heart, I’m always going to be a person who loves country music,” says Shires, “and I have missed playing country music.”‘, produced by Carlile and Shooter Jennings. Back in the day of the Highwaymen, this collaboration and creative exchange between men felt commonplace and encouraged.

If you call someone a supergroup I think the minimum requirement is that people have heard of them

BALLSIEST?

Who

Probably not the best choice of words here to say 'ballsiest' considering the exact point they are making with their first song.

Hi Lern

Check this out,,,

What makes them ballsy? Do they just identify as women but still have wedding tackle? Or are the writers at rolling Stone just really bad at writing good tag lines. There are dozens of word that make much more sense.

Never heard of them. What makes them a 'supergroup'?

How about more pics of the one on the right with the nice cans

Girls don’t have balls RS. Back to High School for you

Love it!!

That IS a powerhouse group!

I’m SUPER confused how what these women are wearing is an issue. The average woman described in a Luke Bryan song is wearing less than this yet it’s the best ever? We can only dress provocatively if men dress us?

Gender barriers? Have we not heard the name Dolly Parton? Goodness, calm down.

while dressing provocatively. aka slutty.

Cannot wait for next weekend TheHighwomen Newportfolkfest

Best thing since sliced bread 🙌

Great song! Love the harmonies.

i just dont understand why they deserve 'supergroup' status. none of them are that well known.

It not our fault country music is for sexist rednecks and is 30 years behind every other Genre. Too bad it's the most corporate music genre and these women are likely being exploited by a management and record company owned by a Trump supporter.

💜 you all. RedesigningWomen is amazing. Can’t wait for the rest of the album to come. TheHighwomen TheHighwomen

I really look forward to the release

Mama wants to change that Nashville sound, and they may not wanna let her, but these 4 are gonna kick the fucking door in. highwomen

Hell yes

JasonIsbell I’m definitely gonna say this: .JasonIsbell outkicked his coverage here.

I'm buying this CD! Way to represent ladies!

Killer new tune. Love the chorus. Some serious head scratchers in this comment section, most likely coming from people who need this song most. Party on ladies.

Hell yes.

Really fabulous women, really good song ❤️

You're beautiful, your music is beautiful. No negatives I can see. 'Mama wants to change that Nashville sound' - HELL, YEAH!

Searched feminist on google. highwayqueens look and sound amazing. strongwomenrule

JasonIsbell All the idiots that are responding this with comments about everything but the music must be the ones buying records about solo cups, painted on jeans and truck yeah. Looking forward to hearing the record.

GreatDismal This is not sharia compliant. Democrats are upset!

Damn is this album out?! I’ve been excitedly waiting for this. What a group of bosses.

Love it when dudes make their incel resentments obvious by demanding prudishness from feminists

JasonIsbell Part of empowerment is wearing what you want and trust me they aren’t dressing to please you. The Neanderthals commenting here should crawl back in their caves until they evolve a bit.

comdotband I'm here for this!

The photo says way more then the lyrics of their songs.

Empowering women by wearing short shorts, low cut tops showing lots of cleavage. This seems like more of the same old thing.

The cleavage is so reminiscent of Rosa Parks

Those women sure look empowered

Any danger of a RT of my pinned tweet please 🤙

They look kinda.......scary!

That name is lame though, they need to be a little more original than The Highwomen.....

This tweet might be their next song.
