Review
Y'all, let me tell you about The Highwomen's self-titled debut album that dropped in September 2019. This isn't your grandma's country music - it's a fresh, bold take on the genre that'll have you tapping your toes and feeling all kinds of empowered.
The album kicks off with 'Highwomen', a reimagining of Jimmy Webb's classic that'll give you goosebumps. It's all about strong women throughout history who've made big sacrifices, and with guest vocals from Yola and Sheryl Crow, it's a real powerhouse of a track. But that's just the beginning, folks. 'Redesigning Women' is a total jam that tips its hat to country queens like Tanya Tucker and Wynonna, while 'Crowded Table' is all about coming together and building community.
Now, don't think for a second that these ladies are one-trick ponies. They tackle everything from tough relationships to spiritual stuff, and they do it with style. 'Old Soul' and 'Don't Call Me' hit you right in the feels, while 'Heaven Is a Honky Tonk' adds a touch of the divine to the mix. And let's not forget the production - Dave Cobb worked his magic, and with guest musicians like Jason Isbell, it's slicker than a greased pig. The Highwomen aren't just making music, they're making a statement about women in the industry, and honey, it's loud and clear. - Bailey
