The Highwomen came together in Nashville in 2019 with a point to make. Amanda Shires had been looking at how heavily radio playlists leaned toward male performers, and producer Dave Cobb suggested she talk to Brandi Carlile about doing something about it. Their answer was a supergroup, named in a nod to the '80s outlaw-country supergroup the Highwaymen, and they filled it out with Maren Morris, one of country's biggest young stars, and the gifted songwriter Natalie Hemby.
Cobb produced their self-titled debut, and Elektra put it out on September 6, 2019. It's a warm, rootsy, harmony-rich record that wears its purpose proudly without ever turning into a lecture. The four voices trade leads and stack up into harmonies that feel like a front-porch summit: "Highwomen" rolls out slow and stately, "Redesigning Women" rollicks along with a grin on its face, and "Crowded Table" is the heart of the record, a big-hearted, open-armed singalong. The Americana Awards nominated them for Duo/Group of the Year in 2020.
