The Highwomen debut drops in September

Friday, July 19, 2019 – The HighWomenn - the supergroup consisting of Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris, Amanda Shires and Natalie Hemby - will release their self-titled debut on Sept. 6 on Low Country Sound/Elektra Records.

The quartet will put a dozen-song disc with band members having a hand writing every song.

"Redesigning Women" was released at midnight as the first single from the Dave Cobb-produced release. A video also unveiled.

Directed by Elizabeth Olmstead and produced by Revolution Pictures, the video features The Highwomen along with special guests Lauren Alaina, Kassi Ashton, Cam, Lilly Hiatt, Wynonna Judd, Catie Offerman, Cassadee Pope, Erin Rae, Raelynn, Natalie Stovall, Tanya Tucker, Anna Vaus and Hailey Whitters.

Hemby said, "'Redesigning Women' is the life most women are living today. We juggle so much in 24 hours, and I wanted to write a song that reflected the goodness, the madness and the hilarity of it all."

The Highwomen will make their live debut at Newport Folk Festival in Newport, R.I. next Friday, July 26. This performance is their only confirmed full concert to date.

The project features Sheryl Crow (background vocals, bass), Yola (vocals, background vocals), Cobb (acoustic/electric guitar), Jason Isbell (acoustic/electric guitar), Phil Hanseroth (bass, background vocals), Tim Hanseroth (guitar, background vocals), Chris Powell (drums) and Peter Levin (piano and keyboards) with songs written by Carlile, Hemby, Morris, Shires, Isbell, the Hanseroth twins, Rodney Clawson, Lori McKenna, Miranda Lambert and Ray LaMontagne among many others.

"Anyone can be a Highwoman," Carlile said. "It's about banding together, abandoning as much ego as humanly possible, holding one another up and amplifying other women every chance we get. Shoulder to shoulder. One push, one love."
