- HighWomen (Brandi Carlile, Amanda Shires, Maren Morris and Natalie Hemby) with Sheryl Crow, and Yola perform “Highwoman” Live at Newport Folk Festival, July 27, 2019. "Highwoman" is a 2019 version of the song "Highwayman".
"Highwayman" was written and recorded by American singer-songwriter Jimmy Webb in 1977. According to Wikipedia, the original version is "about a soul with incarnations in four different places in time and history: as a highwayman, a sailor, a construction worker on the Hoover Dam, and finally as a captain of a starship. The song was influenced by the real-life hanged highwayman Jonathan Wild. The dam builder verse alludes to the deaths of over one hundred men during the construction of Hoover Dam near Boulder City, Nevada. Jimmy Webb first recorded the song on his 1977 album "El Mirage". The following year, Glen Campbell recorded his version, which was released on his 1979 album "Highwayman". In 1985, the song became the inspiration for the naming of the supergroup the Highwaymen, which featured Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson. Their first album, "Highwayman", became a number one platinum-selling album, and their version of the song went to number one on the Hot Country Songs Billboard chart in a 20-week run."
The Highwaymen's version of "Highwayman" earned Webb a Grammy Award for Best Country Song in 1986. It also earned the Highwaymen (the band -- Waylon, Johnny, Willie and Kris) the award for Single of the Year from the Academy of Country Music in 1985.

Hey To My abusers and to all those hypocrites when I was a child ,I am still alive and thriving and happiness surrounds me .Stories still untold I am a high woman
"My mother asked me if that ride was worth my life."
I'm not crying, you're crying.
It's the onions, right? Someone's cutting onions.
Beautiful
That hit hard
You're damn skippy it was...we are the daughters of the silent generation...then we stood up..still standing
Nailed it. That line Broke me.
They're all great but Yola kills it.
Gave me goosebumps
Hell yeah, had to listen to it since you reminded me of it. Social media does good things every now and then. Yola Killin it. Just wish it was longer haha. It's different from the original in allot of ways. Should make it longer too haha. You have a good one

@@davegordon6943 ok ... ty!
" I was a healer. I was gifted as a girl. I laid hands across the world." CHILLS. This whole moment is a VIBE. Thanks ladies.
SOOOOO GOOD!!!! THANK YOU Highwomen for this song! All these women are amazing and this message is SO BIG!!
@@jlwrigh3”Highwayman” was written by a man. “Highwoman” was (re)written by band members Amanda and Brandi, both women.
She may look like a gypsy hooker, but damn can she play a fiddle.
Brandi Carlile is a goddamn national treasure
AGREE!
Brandi Carlile is a God Damn national Treasure!!!! I am an old hippie kinda gal and this chick is the best female singer to come along in a very long time!!!! They can play that pop shit on the radio til no one remembers or cares anymore!! But Brandi, Sheryl and these ladies will leave their mark on "Outlaw Country"fans forever!!!! Love you Brandi you little bad ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She opened for the tribute to Johnny Cash and she killed it!!!!!!! Loved you since that concert!!! Sheryl was there too!!!! You ladies are all beautiful and talented!!!!! Keep singing and keeping the music real!!!!!!!!!✌️🎶😎💙
So fuckin' true.
I remember seeing her live the first time. She was opening for the Indigo Girls at the time, the PA broke, and she fill the venue with nothing but her voice. Total Bad Ass.
You don't have to swear to say that.
Somehow, this song broke my heart and healed it at the same time. amazing!
Beautifully expressed, Diego. Thank you for viewing.
mine too...at the same time. huge emotions
Yes indeed Nov2022k
It's a reasonable response.
“We carry the sons you can only hold”
Such a powerful line.
I love how happy Sheryl Crow is and how much sisterhood there is on that stage. The whole song has had me captivated and in tears since first hearing it, by chance.
Jane Wrin, me too..just found them.
Same. I discovered this song on tiktok, and I'm obsessed. Added it to my spotify right away.Yola's part and the line sent to die on foreign soil
makes me cry.
Johnny and Waylon are looking down from heaven saying thank you for carrying on the tradition. Beautiful song that reflects everyone.
Music hasnt touched me like this in a long long time.
That's what I call real music
Not a fan of country music but I could listen to this all day.
The highwaymen would approve of this version for sure.RIP to the MAN IN BLACK
Kris, Willie, Cash, and Waylon would all be proud. These women killed it, and if you're among the 103 (or more depending on when you read this) that dislike this, then you don't like real country music. These aren't just great female country stars. They're great country stars period!
I would go as far as to say that if you don't like this, then you don't like music. Great song delivered by great musicians.
They surely did
These lyrics are off.the.chart good.
I cry every time I hear this damn song. “You send our hearts to die alone in foreign nations.” Tears my old ass up. Damn. Brava Ladies.
I discovered Yola at a Kacey Musgraves concert last month and now I woke up to Brandi with her Grammy performance and the Highwomen. Two fantastic voices that I put up their with my favorite Bonnie Raitt
Natalie Hemby doesn’t get enough praise. She’s a great singer and also a songwriter
I agree. Her part is what sticks in my head.
You just know Waylon and Johnny would have loved this.
You bet!
That's the truth!
They are listening as we are..
Would love for someone to interview Jimmy Webb about this. I imagine he loves it.
d. belew He helped write this version too!
I may be responsible for at least 300,000 of these views. Yola's voice, and verse, bring me to tears. This song is absolutely incredible.
Christopher Michaud the view count is unique to iOS, so yours likely only counts as one view. I am thrilled that you love this video so much- these artists are absolutely amazing. Thank you, thank you for watching.
PLEASE, stay together, do some more. The USA, the world needs you.
Amanda Shires whole persona is a full mood. What a work of art, love them all
Kaleb Chancellor right? Damn, so intriguing...a talented woman.
And that persona is her.
All of these women are more than talented, and every one deserves all the praise. But Brandi Carlile. On a n o t h e r LEVEL.
It wasn't the song I wanted, but was the song I needed.
I have such a weakness for all of their voices individually,, put together I’m sobbing
I tear up every time I hear this song. Thank God for every woman that contributed with all they had to what we have now.
The whole song is incredibly powerful, Yola is a force to be reckoned with! Beautiful ladies! Thank you Brandi, you are a genius!
Yola should be part of Highwomen
I stumbled across this song last night... It put chill bumps all over my body and brought tears streaming down my face. I immediately Loved this song and have listened to it literally all night...it's mid-morning and i am still listening... the words cut through like a knife... a beautiful masterpiece
I am a 57 year old, heterosexual male, father of 3 grown men, married to my beautiful wife for going on 30 years ... and it did the same damn thing to me.
Same!!!
I don't know how I ended up watching the Highwaymen performing live in 1990 - and was so moved by their performance then saw the HighWomen and thought was this PC or what. Got about one minute into the song and tears are funning down my face. I was not prepared for the emotion and the strength in the lyrics or the performances of these sisters in harmony. And will listen to this song again, and again, and again, and again...........
Their performance is breathtaking. I would love to see a movie based on this version of the song!
I really can picture Johnny smiling from heaven looking at this.
"And everyone except for me survived". As a man I recognize my mother here. She went trough hell for us with our abusive ex father untill they divorced. One night when he was drunk and we all had to sleep in the same room, us in the bed and her on a chair with the head on the table she told us how it was not that bad . It was bad, but she is just amazing :). She would have died for us. Mothers are so strong man. Now are life is much better, it's been 30 years and the idiot father is long gone but some things i will never forget.
And I'll take that ride again and again and again,,My God her voice and that line has me sobbing. This is so uplifting and yet so very sad,
2 years and still gives me goosebumps. Bravo.
In all of this talent Jason Isbell is in the back on guitar. Outstanding.
I'm not crying cuz this is badass. You're crying cuz this is badass. Women are making country great again.
I love love LOVE this song and every verse. Yola always gives me chills
This song is so emotional 😩😍 my eyes fill up every time Yola sings “and when the shots rang out I never heard that song” 😩😩
Never heard the sound... But either way is just as good!! ❤️
Same!! Chills and tears.
Just. Wow. I feel so proud to be a woman 🔥🔥
These ladies are so great. Amanda Shires for the win!!
She is amazing her voice gives me chills 😵😀
God praise women! God praise music! God praise Newport Folk Fest!!! 🙏🤗🧡🌈
Look at Sheryl crow, so beautiful.
❤
I love this song. It is SO POWERFUL.
“The Highwomen”....... OUTSTANDING!!!
COUNTRY OG!!
I’m not EVEN CLOSE to a “country fan”, BUT “WOW”!!!!!!
I “think” it’s COUNTRY...... (BEEN AWHILE since someone’s done it CORRECTLY!!!)
"You send our hearts to die alone in foreign nations. They return to us as tiny drops of rain. We will still remain."
What a deeply poignant line.
As a Proud daughter, DIL, grand daughter, sister, SIL, niece, great niece, and friend of many honorable soldiers, also as a mother of two, the line gets me Ev-er-y time ❤🪖💔
Also, the line, "We carry the sons you can only hold." 💗
This is an amazing piece of art, filled with so much that cuts straight through to a woman's soul. Makes you want to straighten your crown a bit, doesn't it ladies.
❤👸🦸♀️🏋♀️🧘♀️👩👦❤
Beautifully said, Tara ❤️
Amanda Shires voice is amazingly haunting.
And in my Savior's name, I laid my weapons down...
The talent and genius and artistry and passion on this stage cannot be measured or accurately described. LOVE!
Yola is everything in this song
Like For Amanda Shires !!!! ohhhhhh, Jason Isbell is present!!!
So...I love fusion. So...why am I getting all weepy? Yeh...it's all about that music-soul connection. Awesome.
The gal with the violin-her voice is sublime.
Amanda Shires 😊
This black girl has a great voice , its the first time i have heard her or this band
These Women are making history! How lucky are we to be able to witness their beautiful gifts and powerful message? Thank you HighWomen! I hope you touch many hearts and open many minds. Thank you.
Amen
I concur
God Bless These Amazing Talents! They have blessed us. WOW!
Highwayman has always been one of my favorite songs. Love seeing these women doing their own version. ❤️
Their voices just give me chills. Especially Yola. Wow.
Beautiful song. Telling the story of the powerful spirit of women is everything
I love the POWER of this.
Highwomen
The Highwomen
I was a Highwoman
And a mother from my youth
For my children I did what I had to do
My family left Honduras when they killed the Sandinistas
We followed a coyote through the dust of Mexico
Every one of them except for me survived
And I am still alive
I was a healer
I was gifted as a girl
I laid hands upon the world
Someone saw me sleeping naked in the noon sun
I heard "witchcraft" in the whispers and I knew my time had come
The bastards hung me at the Salem gallows hill
But I am living still
I was a freedom rider
When we thought the South had won
Virginia in the spring of '61
I sat down on the Greyhound that was bound for Mississippi
My mother asked me if that ride was worth my life
And when the shots rang out I never heard the sound
But I am still around
And…
When I saw your band name and misread it as Highwaywomen, I wondered where your cover of “Highwayman” was, but YT kept showing me “The Chain” (they obviously know I’m into Stevie/FM). FINALLY, TODAY, I saw this! It’s fantastic. I bawled the whole way through and watched three separate performances (still crying). This is genius, ladies. So incredibly touching and beautiful. 💗 And it’s especially important today, as the religious nuts in our country have revoked women’s right to an abortion. Abortion saved my life and allowed me to escape a much older, abusive man when I was a teenager. It’s so important for girls and women to have a choice.
all these women voices are so colourful. love it.
Wow, this blows me off of my feet. Powerful women, powerful music. I wish we had performances like that over here in old Europe.
aww Sheryl Crow..so happy to see her looking good
Sheryl show!!
I have heard this amazing song probably close to a million times so far on the album, but watching them preform it is a whole new level and bringing me to tears!!
D A M N -- Please, more of this!!!
The Highwayman was remarkable, and the Highwomen ...inspirational. There are verses that make this 65-year old guy fill-up......Jimmy Webb and The Highwomen ...Thank-You for the words,the sentiment.....the strength.🚀
My heavens, that was one powerful performance!
These women are sooo talented, and the lyrics...perfection...
sheryl crow, great voice they're all great, sheryl is something else ,
Sometimes I come back to this video just for comfort.
Me too❤️
Pretty incredible. Words fail me. Just listening to this on repeat.
Been watching Jason and Amanda's live stream during self isolation and she sang this. Great song.
The Times They are a Changing!
I love the violinist voice! They're all good, but she's my number one.
That’s Amanda Shires!😊
@@AmyKaribian thank you. I watched a video on the third girl from the left and she's a pretty amazing person. I'm going to start checking these girls out. So far I'm really impressed. Maybe they'll be my first ever concert that I will go too. Yeah, I know what you're thinking, but I never went to a concert my whole life. Sad, but true. 🙄
I think that is great, that this performance is inspiring you to support and see live music. The whole purpose of these video is to inspire viewers to support our artists, so thank you for doing so. The third artist from the left is Yola, and she is wonderful. I have many Yola videos on my channel. I hope you will check them out and enjoy. Stay in touch and let me know when you see your first concert! I’d love to hear all about it.
Amy Karibian very sweet reply 👍
I love how they threw Yola in there! It added a nice touch! Love them all
Yola's on the studio version, so not just thrown in there! Maren Morris does a nice version of that verse too, but Yola really adds to it indeed.
YESSSS SISTERS!!!!!! I can’t think of any other song that has moved my spirit as much as this...y’all did justice sharing the stories of those powerful pioneering sisters of OUR History! God Bless each and everyone of you Powerful Souls and keep the faith!!!🥰🥰🥰
My mind just f’ing melted on this
I was a preacher my heart broke for all the world....
My heart breaks for the world today!
Wow. Once saw Yola in Helsinki then saw this posted in some friend's page from Newport FF, i went to college in Rhode island, so I'm well acquainted with that festival. But what a performance. Hope they join up and do it again.
this has to be top 5 best remakes ever - trounces the original by the HighwayMen. Meaningful lyrics, well orchestrated harmonization, etc. etc. = GENIUS!
Absolutely incredible. Collective genius. Could listen to Yola all day.
Thank you for taking this video, it's literally one of my favorites of all time, I've watched it dozens of times
Thank you so much, Brett🎶🌈It makes me so happy that you enjoy it so much.
Yola is no joke!
Absolute beast!
YOLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She IS country music.
Thank you for sharing your talent, truth telling and courage in these trying times. Your song honors America - the real one: big and complicated, full of history, joy, tragedy and triumph but above all - hope.
Absolutely beautiful song ❤️🎶✌️
... and Brandi Carlile so sweetly smiled at her buddy inviting her to sing her part. That's sharing... a part of a team. 20201107 (Saturday).
This song makes me cry every single time
Brilliant version. Thank you Brandi and the rest of the Highwomen.
Amy, you're a star for posting this.
@Wyatt Steven crow Someone who's talent I enjoy and brought happiness deserves credit!
This song gives me goosebumps!
Man I don't think I could have a bigger smile than right now after finding this for the first time. Well done ladies!
Always in love with Amanda's sunglasses 🤣❤️
That was great, really was. Love from Scotland ya American beauties!
I've just discovered "HighWomen"...omgosh. Wonderful voices, songs, music...thank you !!
'
I am guessing Willie, Kris and Jimmy Webb all gave this a thumbs up.
i am so in love with Brandi and of course the other highwomen ❤️❤️❤️
Yola⚜️phenomenal
Outstanding. What a fantastic re-write and performance of the great Jimmy Webb song. Well done, ladies.
I shot Jimmy Webb a couple of months ago performing "Higwayman" ruclips.net/video/ZJMKIc-YsUQ/видео.html
Hi! I live under a rock and just discovered this group and Yola *today*. I feel complete now.
