    The Highwomen is great vocal album with 4 women singing country anthems about womanhood in modern society. Each song goes sky high in emotions and vocal capacities. All lyrics are spot on in meaning and poetry. The musical frame is just as grand. The whole album breathes a classic country feeling, and stays far away from today's empty overproduced country pop.

This album deserves so much more attention.… Collapse

    The voices and the hooks can’t easily be denied, and Shires injects some playful sassiness on “Don’t Call Me.” But the potential for what could’ve been a harder-hitting roadhouse-style album largely goes unrealized.

    The Highwaymen have often been called country’s best supergroup, but the Highwomen are better. They do here what the men never could—stretch the notions of what country can and must become.

    While it’s absolutely and unapologetically meant as an addition to the discourse on inequality and lack of diversity that’s been ruling Nashville and country music (country radio in particular) for decades now, it’s also a country classic, no matter which way you spin it. The genre’s best talents, both men and women, have gathered, and they succeeded in creating a multi-generational, monumental music event.
