Video: The Highwomen – “Redesigning Women”

Directed by Elizabeth Olmstead. From The Highwomen, due September 6 on Low Country Sound/Elektra.

The Highwomen are Brandi Carlile, Natalie Hemby, Maren Morris, and Amanda Shires. And they’re telling it like it is.

Full-time living on a half-time schedule
Always trying to make everybody feel special
Learning when to brake and when to hit the pedal
Working hard to look good ’til we die

Brandi Carlile told Apple Music, it’s “a song about women in 360 degrees. All of our attributes, all of our flaws. It’s a celebration of everything about us that makes us funny and powerful and who we are.”

The video features cameos from Tanya Tucker and Wynonna Judd and other badass country women.

It seems like it’s got to be getting harder for mainstream country radio programmers to continue to refuse to play songs by female artists as Kacey Musgraves sweeps the Grammys and women “steal the show” at the Newport Folk Festival (which, by the way, was curated by Highwoman Brandi Carlile).

Misogyny runs deep, but it’s exciting to see strong women taking it on and facing it down. Sock it to the man!
