The Highwomen on feminism, success, And Dolly Parton:
It would be cliché to say country music is at a crossroads, but you know what they say about clichés: They're repeated because they resonate.
On a hot summer day shortly after the Newport Folk Festival set that saw the four Highwomen—Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris, Amanda Shires, and Natalie Hemby—performing live for the first time as a group, and joined by Dolly Parton, Yola Carter, and Sheryl Crow, I sat down with the band to discuss their journey, the album, and what they want to see more of in country music.
Amanda Shires: Like, everybody loves their baby. When they actually take it out of the house, they're like,"Please don't hate on my baby." [Laughter]Natalie Hemby: You just never really know. You put these things out and we do have the best intentions, but you don't know if everybody agrees with your intentions. Also, we are trying to push some kind of agenda, but I also love the hilarity and the funniness of the song.
The thing that resonated with me was that you are all telling very different stories about what it is to be a woman and what it is to be a person in this society. But, time and time again, I feel that women in country music are asked to tell the same stories over and over: of being heartbroken or not necessarily wanting to be a mom one day; clean the kitchen and fix the world at the same time.
BC: I mean the word has had so many seasons, it's changed what it means so many times. I think that what it means right now, she would embrace it if she hadn't been through so many generations of it meaning different things. Maybe it didn't describe her at that time, but God, y'all her heart is right on her sleeve, and that is just enough.
