Country / Alt-Country / Roots / Americana

I don't know if this belongs here or in the hot take thread but the new Highwomen stuff isn't doing anything for me. When the group was announced I was hoping it would be more along the outlaw side of things. I appreciate the positivity angle they're taking but it's just not what I was personally hoping for. Plus I'm still not really sure who the fourth woman is and Carlile isn't even really country.

I'd rather have a combination of Margo Price, Nikki Lane, Lilly Hiatt, Lydia Loveless, and Sarah Shook put together a rougher country outlaw woman's group.

When it was originally teased months ago Margo Price was mentioned as being part of it but then Amanda Shires walked that back. Maybe Margo's pregnancy timing messed that up. Imagine if she was in that group instead of Natalie Hemby (no offence to her I'm just not familiar with her at all).

I do wish they had a bit more edge, and I had mentioned elsewhere last week that I would also have loved Nikki Lane and Margo Price involved. The first single didn't really do much for me lyrically, but I do like their harmony vocals, particularly on their cover of 'The Chain'.

Yes! I'm excited to hear the full studio version of 'The Chain'.
 
I think Brandi's been country/Americana since Bear Creek. She did win an Americana Grammy and her previous album was nominated for the same category. I think I really because a fan because Bear Creek was so country. I am not a huge fan of the first single, but I'm not writing it off yet. I do love the Nudie suits they wore at Newport. Also, second on Natalie Hemby's "Puxico". I think it might be a streaming-only release but it's a solid album. I remember asking VMP to press it a couple times, lol.

It came out on vinyl on her husband's company site Wrucke-something. Her initial fame was as a songwriter rather than as a performer. Puxico is a good album but distribution was very indie. It will be interesting to hear how the Highwomen album turns out.

I don’t think it exists on vinyl to be honest. No listing for it on discogs and I’ve did every google search possible looking to buy it before.

I mean I can’t get why no one listed it, but there are plenty of things on cogs that have never sold.

I totally agree about there being plenty of things on cogs that haven’t been sold. I just think if it existed it would be on there. I mean Caroline Spence’s Spades and Roses is on discogs and I think that’s a good comparison in regards to obscure female songwriters. If it exists I couldn’t think that there would be more than a handful of copies.
