Country group rewrote “Highwayman,” the signature tune of Willie, Waylon, Johnny, and Kris, with its writer Jimmy Webb
the 1985 theme song of Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson’s all-star band. But Carlile and Shires not only received the blessing of the song’s writer Jimmy Webb , they also enlisted him in reworking the lyrics. The Highwomen, rounded out by“[The Highwaymen’s characters] all died doing things that men do. Willie was a bandit. Johnny Cash drove a fucking starship, nobody knows why,” Carlileearlier this year.
“We rewrote it with fates that befell women: a doctor convicted of witchcraft; an immigrant who died trying to get over the border but got the kids over safe and sound; a preacher; and a freedom rider who gets shot.”Carlile takes the verse about the Honduran immigrant, Shires inhabits the persecuted doctor, Hemby sings about being a preacher, and U.K. songwriter Yola guests to tackle the verse about the freedom rider.
