According to the songwriter, the supergroup will gather to record the followup to their 2019 self-titled debut<\/p>\n
\n\tBrandi Carlile<\/a> says the Highwomen<\/a> will finally gather to record a new album. The supergroup of Carlile, Maren Morris, Natalie Hemby, and Amanda Shires released their critically acclaimed self-titled debut in 2019.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWe\u2019re getting together to do another one,\u201d Carlile told Rolling Stone in an interview<\/a> following her headlining concert in Minneapolis on Saturday night. \u201cI\u2019m done keeping secrets.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tCarlile\u2019s remarks come after Shires told Rolling Stone\u2019s Nashville Now podcast<\/a> earlier this summer that the members, including frequent collaborator Brittney Spencer, were gearing up to write. \u201cMe and Brandi and Maren and Brittney have talked about writing this winter,\u201d Shires said. \u201cAll signs point to \u2018yes,\u2019 if I was the Magic 8-Ball.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tWhile there\u2019s no date on when a new album may arrive, or even when the musicians will enter the studio, the Highwomen are confirmed for at least one appearance. Some iteration of the group is billed to perform at Brandi Carlile\u2019s May 31 headlining concert at the Gorge in Washington state.<\/p>\n \n\tCarlile, who released her latest album, Returning to Myself<\/a>, last October spoke at length with Rolling Stone about the ICE protests in Minneapolis and stressed that Trump voters who may object to his administration\u2019s tactics of what she calls \u201cviolent theater\u201d can still change their mind. Despite the turmoil, however, she said she remains hopeful for the country and connecting with people across the political divide.<\/p>\n \t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI\u2019m so lucky to have this job because \u2014 and I said it out there onstage \u2014 it\u2019s not lost on me that I may have limited access to all kinds of people. It\u2019s not lost on me that unless I\u2019m\u00a0singing at the Super Bowl<\/a>, I may only really get to speak to and sing for one kind of person for the most part. But it trickles out. It aggregates,\u201d she said. \u201cBecause everybody has got brothers and sisters and moms and dads and family members. And if the message gets potent and cohesive enough, it\u2019ll make it.\u201d<\/p>\n
