Highwoman's Powerful Lyrics Will Move You In This Live Performance By 'The Highwomen'
September 16, 2019
The HighWomen (Brandi Carlile, Amanda Shires, Maren Morris and Natalie Hemby) perform "Highwoman" with Sheryl Crow, Jason Isbell, and Yola at the Newport Folk Festival.
"Highwoman" is a 2019 version of the song "Highwayman", which was a huge hit in 1985 for The Highwaymen, a sueprgroup consiting of Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson.
For the new version, The Highwomen sing from multiple perspectives. Their characters, however, are all brave and strong women, including a Honduran refugee, a Freedom Rider, a preacher, and a casualty of the Salem Witch Trials.
Dogs Are Forced To Wear The Things They Steal — And It’s Hilarious
Meet Nazgul: The Dog Who Crashed An Olympic Ski Race And Nearly Won
People Are Submitting Photos of Their Cats’ ‘Jobs’— And We Can’t Stop Laughing
She Was Feeling Low On Confidence, So Her Classmates Covered Her Desk In Sticky Notes
A Childhood Bond Reunited: Firefighter Saves The Horse That Taught Him To Ride
She Collects Trash 5 Days A Week With Her Dog — So A Resident Gifted Her Dog A Matching Vest
Mom Was About To Miss Her Flight, So A Stranger Picked Up Her Kid And Ran With Her
He Ordered A Doctor Bag — But The Size Has Him Laughing Uncontrollably
She Gave Her Dad The One Thing He’d Been Searching For His Whole Life
Son Stops Mid Race To Give His Mom A Kiss During The Special Olympics
He Went Back To Pay The Man Who Helped Him — But That’s Not What Happened
