Cobb recommended Shires call Carlile, whom she didn't know. With the name paying homage to the legendary Highwaymen country supergroup, the Highwomen were originally intended to leave the fourth spot in their line-up vacant to allow other female collaborators to join them, with Chely Wright, Courtney Marie Andrews, Margo Price, Janelle Monae and Sheryl Crow mentioned as potential guests.
The latter served as an excuse to get the band out on the road and they fade into the woodwork here, overshadowed by a collection of tunes that amount to some of the greatest songs of the 20th century. All are matter-of-fact performances, the four Highwaymen relying on some measure of seasoned chops and personal charm as they trade songs, or perhaps just lines, on a collection of greatest-hits and new tunes they're plugging. [16] The song is a classic answer song. [11], In July 2019, the Highwomen performed their first ever full live set at the 60th annual Newport Folk Festival, previewing songs from their upcoming album including "If She Ever Leaves Me", written by Shires, her husband Jason Isbell and Chris Thompkins. The band wore custom suits by Manuel. [1][5], In 2016, when Shires was finishing her record, My Piece of Land, in music producer Dave Cobb's studio, Shires had an idea to create a female country supergroup in homage to the legendary Highwaymen country supergroup (consisting of Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson). 4,451 talking about this. The Very Best of the Highwaymen covers familiar ground, adding three selections -- "City of New Orleans," "Big River," and "The King Is Gone (So Are You)" -- from Live: American Outlaws, along with the "One Too Many Mornings" from Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings' 1986 Heroes, now featuring harmonies by Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson. The Highwomen is a country music group[1][2] composed of Brandi Carlile, Natalie Hemby, Maren Morris, and Amanda Shires,[3] formed in 2016. Maren hadn't worked with Cobb before, and remarked on how much she liked tracking live. [15] The title track of their self-titled debut album was released on August 13, 2019. 1 Album on Billboard 200 With 'Hollywood's Bleeding, "The Highwomen Chart History - Americana/Folk Albums", Australian Recording Industry Association, "Billboard Canadian Albums: September 21, 2019", "Highwomen | full Official Chart history", https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/country-artists-albums-chart/20190913/21/, "Top 10 Country Albums Pure Sales Chart: March 9, 2020", "The Highwomen Chart History - Digital Song Sales", "Adult Alternative Songs - February 1, 2020", "The Highwomen: Country Digital Song Sales", https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Highwomen&oldid=979991985, Wikipedia introduction cleanup from April 2020, Articles covered by WikiProject Wikify from April 2020, All articles covered by WikiProject Wikify, Pages using multiple image with auto scaled images, Wikipedia articles with MusicBrainz identifiers, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License, This page was last edited on 24 September 2020, at 00:00. [12] With Carlile on lead vocals, Isbell described it as "the first gay country song" which elicited applause from the audience. The band, who jokingly refer to the collaboration as a pirate ship experience, said that they see the project as an incubator project that highlights mentorship and support of fellow women artists. [4], The Highwomen project was widely hinted at by Carlile, Morris and Shires before it was officially announced on April 6, 2019. The 2016 archival release of Live: American Outlaws is the first official document of this part of the supergroup's life, providing the first-ever CD release of the March 14, 1990 show recorded at Nassau Coliseum that was previously released on VHS in 1991 (the video portion has been remastered and released as a DVD in this set), along with a third CD featuring a six-song set from 1992's Farm Aid V, four songs from 1993's Farm Aid VI, and a spruced-up outtake of Bob Dylan's "One Too Many Mornings," where Nelson and Kristofferson added new vocal harmonies to a recording from Cash and Jennings' 1986 LP Heroes. Considering this, it's odd how none of the three live dates feel like major events. [18], "The Highwomen: In the Studio With Country's Ballsiest New Group", "Country Music Is a Man's World. There, Natalie Hemby was officially revealed as the final member and the quartet performed "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels".
