"Crowded Table" was the second single from The Highwomen, the 2019 debut by the country supergroup, and the lead vocal passes among Brandi Carlile, Natalie Hemby, Maren Morris and Amanda Shires. Carlile and Hemby wrote it with Lori McKenna, and Dave Cobb produced, also picking up an acoustic guitar beside Tim Hanseroth, with Phil Hanseroth on bass, Jason Isbell adding electric guitar and Peter Levin filling the corners with piano, Mellotron and strings.
It carries the album's banner: a call for community and for making room for everybody, in country music and well beyond it. The harmonies swell like a Sunday supper where the chairs keep multiplying, and the message landed. It won the Grammy for Best Country Song and the Americana Music Association's Song of the Year for 2020.
