The Highwomen on Representing More Females in Country Music

The Highwomen, featuring Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris, Amanda Shires, and Natalie Hemby, have the number one country album in America, and the ladies explained to Ellen how they were inspired to represent more female voices in the male-dominated genre of country music.

I love these gals as a group and individual. They each have their own style and that came together as THE BEST FEMALE COUNTRY GROUP. The best thing is that support each other as solo artists. My kids tell me I need to listen to more music than just The Highwomen.

I really like their message on representing more females in country music. This is something that should be done more.

The Highwomen CD has been 2 weeks No. 1 in Country Billboards.
No shortage of talent in that scenario. For those that don’t know them:

Maren Morris: 1 Academy of Country Music Awards, 2 APRA Music Awards, 2 Billboard Music Awards, 1 Country Music Association Awards and 1 Grammy.

Brandi Carlile: 3 Grammys, 1 Americana Music Honors and Awards, 1 UK Americana Awards and probably the most amazing voice and songwriting nowadays.

Amanda Shires: 1 Grammy, 2 Americana Music Honors and Awards, 1 UK Americana Awards

Nathalie Hemby: songwriter with more than 40 well known titles and several hits.
It is, indeed, a supergroup.

Not only is their music stellar - Cocktail and a Song is one of my favorites on the album -, but I love how they're trying to push country music into the 21st century. The genre definitely needs more female representation and country radios definitely need to give more air time to the female country music artists already out there because they are making some really great music.
