Monroe rides the "Risen Road"
The song was co-produced by Monroe and Gena Johnson and co-written with Waylon Payne and Brendan Benson. She also released a video of the song.
Monroe, who is one-third of Pistol Annies with Miranda Lambert and Angaleena Presley, said, "I wrote 'Risen Road' in 2015 with two of my favorite people (and amazing artists) Waylon Payne and Brendan Benson. I wanted to paint an honest picture of what my life was like growing up in East Tennessee. The real life details are the truth and part of my story — lovin' pain pills and lovin' Jesus — and making it out alive on the other side."
In March, Monroe released a cover of Fred Eaglesmith's "I Like Trains" and her late 2023 single "Over Everything."
In April, Monroe performed her first headline show in Nashville since 2015, and just recently announced she will be performing at AmericanaFest 2024 following a UK tour supporting Little Big Town on their "Friends of Mine" tour.
Over the past two years, Monroe has remained busy writing and collaborating, most recently appearing on Ben Chapman's single "Is It Ever Really Gone" and co-writing Lambert and Leon Bridges' "If You Were Mine."
Monroe's most recent disc was "Rosegold," which went beyond country music.
