Musically, the album blends elements of country, Americana, and folk, with rich storytelling and harmonies that showcase the group's strong vocal chemistry. It addresses themes such as female empowerment, love, loss, and resilience, with a notable focus on women's experiences in the country music scene, which has historically been male-dominated.
The Highwomen's sound combines modern country with traditional influences, creating a mix of upbeat tracks and introspective ballads. Some standout tracks from the album include "Redesigning Women," which serves as a statement of independence and self-worth, and "Crowded Table," a song about inclusivity and unity.
The limited edition 2XLP format features high-quality vinyl pressings with additional lyrics. The album received widespread critical acclaim for both its musicality and its role in reshaping the narrative of women in country music. The Highwomen's self-titled album was praised for its thoughtful lyrics, strong performances, and its blend of contemporary and classic country styles.
