S5E220 - The Highwomen with Alana Anton

<p>Sociologist, Appalachian scholar and activist <strong>Alana Anton</strong> is a southern girl at heart, and when she first discovered <strong>The Highwomen</strong> - the debut album by the country music super-group of the same name composed of <strong>Brandi Carlile</strong>, <strong>Natalie Hemby</strong>, <strong>Maren Morris</strong>, and <strong>Amanda Shires</strong> - it immediately brought her back to her country roots. The at times gut-wrenching collection of songs is a stunning celebration of women in country music, full of equal parts high comedy and high pathos. An instant classic!</p> <p>Songs featured in this episode: <em>Highwayman</em> - The Highwaymen; <em>Achy Breaky Heart</em> - Billy Ray Cyrus; <em>Can I Get An Outlaw</em> - Luke Combs; <em>Hold On</em> - Yola & The Highwomen; <em>The Highwomen</em> - The Highwomen; <em>Washington Bullets</em> - The Clash; <em>White Feather</em> - Amanda <em>Shires; She's An Eagle</em> - Dolly Parton & The Highwomen; <em>Redesigning Women</em> - The Highwomen; <em>Romeo</em> - Dolly Parton; <em>Loose Change</em> - The Highwomen; <em>Daddy Lessons</em> - Beyonce (featuring the Dixie Chicks); <em>Crowded Table, My Name Can't Be Mama, If She Ever Leaves Me, Old Soul, Don't Call Me, My Only Child</em> - The Highwomen; <em>If You're Gonna Play In Texas</em> - Alabama; <em>Heaven Is a Honky Tonk, Cocktail and a Song, Wheels of Laredo, The Chain</em> - The Highwomen</p>
