The Highwomen, the group formed by Amanda Shires, Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris and Natalie Hemby, surprise-released a new album, Live at The Gorge 2023, out everywhere today (May 29).

Along with the digital album, a new live music video for “Redesigning Women” is available now. The album arrives ahead of the group’s reunion performance as they headline the final night of Carlile’s “Echoes Through the Canyon” weekend at The Gorge Amphitheatre on Sunday (May 31). Sunday’s show will be the group’s first performance together since the 2023 edition of the festival, and will also feature Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt, Wynonna Judd and Brittney Spencer.

“We weren’t planning on releasing a live album,” shares the group, “But in preparing for our upcoming reunion we recently listened back to The Gorge, and whatever happened out there that night came rushing right back…the adrenaline, the near misses, the harmonies locking in at exactly the right second, and the sound of thousands of people singing like they meant every word with their whole chest.

“The recordings sound wild, emotional, electric, human and exactly how that night felt…We could really feel the connection, the community and that rare oneness where everybody carried each other for a little while. And maybe that matters right now because when the world feels like it’s coming apart at the seams, music still gives us a place to meet each other in the middle of it all, to sing too loud, cry in public, laugh at dumb shit, hold each other upright, and walk back out into the world feeling a little less alone a little more whole and a little more ready to keep fighting for each other. Just us, the crowd, the canyon, and whatever that feeling was. We sure hope you feel it.”

The foursome made their live debut in 2019 at Loretta Lynn’s 87th Birthday Concert and have since performed at the Newport Folk Festival with Dolly Parton, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Howard Stern Show and The Kennedy Center Honors. Their self-titled debut album which features collaborations with Sheryl Crow and Yola debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart and won Album of the Year at the Americana Music Honors & Awards and Best Country Song (“Crowded Table”) at the 63rd Annual Grammys.

The Highwomen will also join Maren Morris for a special performance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre later this summer.

Breakout artist Dax will launch his next headlining run, “The Anger Management Tour,” starting this fall.

Kicking off in September, the tour is set to visit 46 cities across North America, including Toronto, Chicago, Indianapolis, Louisville, Dallas, Boston, Huntsville and more, wrapping with a show at Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl on Dec. 13. Tickets are on sale now here.

Earlier this month, Dax released his gripping track “Caught You In The Bed,” which was inspired by the emotional weight of discovering infidelity firsthand, and explores the complicated feelings surrounding a blindsiding betrayal from a partner. Penned by Dax, the song’s honest and vulnerable storytelling captures the relatable conflict that comes with broken trust. “Caught You In The Bed” builds on a string of personal releases from Dax this year, including “God, Can You Hear Me?” and “Temptation.”

“The Anger Management Tour” follows Dax’s “Lonely Dirt Road Tour” last fall, which sold out all 16 dates across the U.S. and Canada, including stops in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles and more. This summer, Dax will make his CMA Fest debut on June 6 at the Chevy Vibes Stage

Dax has accumulated nearly 50 million followers across social media and nearly four billion career streams to date.

Brenda Lee‘s catalog is coming to streaming for the first time with more than a dozen albums arriving over the coming months via MCA/UMe.

Launching today, Decades Vol. 1 serves as the first installment in the rollout, and features four landmark albums that showcase Lee’s artistic evolution across multiple decades and genres. The collections spans heartbreak ballads, countrypolitan classics and modern country reinventions, and highlights some of the most defining moments of Lee’s career. Decades Vol. 1 includes: Too Many Rivers (1965); New Sunrise (1973); L.A. Sessions (1976) and Even Better (1980).

Originally released by Decca Records in 1965, Too Many Rivers marked the 13th studio album of Lee’s career and her transition from teen pop sensation into the sophisticated “Nashville Sound.” Produced by Lee’s longtime collaborator Owen Bradley, whom she first began working with at just 13, the album features the crossover hit title track which reached No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 2 on the AC chart. The album showcased Lee’s versatility through a mix of contemporary pop favorites and classic standards, including renditions of “It’s Not Unusual,” “Stormy Weather (Keeps Raining All The Time),” “Hello, Dolly!” and “Unforgettable.”

New Sunrise was released at the height of Lee’s country music resurgence, further solidifying her place as one of the era’s standout crossover artists. Lee’s twenty-third album, the project blended countrypolitan production with contemporary pop influences, and featured interpretations of songs like Stevie Wonder’s “You Are the Sunshine of My Life” and Paul McCartney’s “My Love.” The project became Lee’s second consecutive Top 10 release on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, spending 25 weeks on the chart and peaking at No. 7. Driven by the hit singles “Sunday Sunrise” and “Wrong Ideas”—both of which reached the Top 10 on the country chart—New Sunrise further cemented Lee’s place within country while expanding her visibility across TV, touring circuits, and Las Vegas performances throughout the decade.

Released in 1976 as Lee’s 26th studio album, L.A. Sessions found her embracing a polished pop-oriented sound after several years as a country hitmaker. Recorded in Los Angeles with producer Snuff Garrett, known for his work with Cher, the album reflected a stylistic shift toward upbeat West Coast pop arrangements while continuing to showcase Lee’s versatile vocal style. The album became Lee’s fifth release to chart on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and featured the singles “Takin’ What I Can Get” and “Ruby’s Lounge.”

Lee’s 28th studio album Even Better reestablished her presence on the country charts at the start of a new decade. Produced by Ron Chancey, the 1980 album embraced a more contemporary country sound across a collection of modern country compositions, including songs written by acclaimed songwriter Rafe Van Hoy. Even Better delivered Lee’s first country Top 10 hits in several years with “Tell Me What It’s Like,” which peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, and “The Cowgirl and the Dandy,” which reached No. 10. A third single, “Keeping Me Warm For You,” followed in 1982, helping introduce Lee to a new generation of country audiences.

Over the next several months, more than a dozen key albums from across Lee’s celebrated catalog spanning the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s will arrive on streaming platforms for the very first time, bringing another chapter of her groundbreaking career into the digital era.
