    Not only is their music stellar - Cocktail and a Song is one of my favorites on the album - , but I love how they're trying to push country music into the 21st century. The genre definitely needs more female representation and country radios definitely need to give more air time to the female country music artists already out there because they are making some really great music.

    The Highwomen CD has been 2 weeks No. 1 in Country Billboards.
    No shortage of talent in that scenario. For those that don’t know them:
    Maren Morris: 1 Academy of Country Music Awards, 2 APRA Music Awards, 2 Billboard Music Awards, 1 Country Music Association Awards and 1 Grammy.
    Brandi Carlile: 3 Grammys, 1 Americana Music Honors and Awards, 1 UK Americana Awards and probably the most amazing voice and songwriting nowadays.
    Amanda Shires: 1 Grammy, 2 Americana Music Honors and Awards, 1 UK Americana Awards
    Nathalie Hemby: songwriter with more than 40 well known titles and several hits.
    It is, indeed, a supergroup.

      While I agree with this statement, theres not many people of color making country music. There have been a few attempts but, it was too much like hip hop. With that being said, there are some 'artists' that I feel dont represent country music. They think, I grew up on a farm and any music I do is country. Not true.

      I'm not so sure they are promoting strong women as much as they are saying women have a voice that is not being heard. In my opinion Amanda Shires is one of the best song writers ever. She has 8 solo albums and lots of work she does with other musicians. I don't know any of her songs I would classified as simple little ditties. She does songs that get inside of you, not the easy grabs like making you sad, glad or mad but the ones that make you think about your fellow human being. I think she is one of those people that value most of all; kindness, consideration and empathy and yes, people like that can appear timid but, personally I want to hear what they have to say.
