Empress. Singer. Writer of Songs, Disciple of Leonard Cohen. ALL ROCK AND ROLL. No Golf. Creator of the Highwomen. NEW ALBUM “Take It Like A Man” is out now!
When I was young, Bobbie Nelson was the first woman sideman I saw out there making a life in music. We made an album before she passed. Pre-order it today and listen to the first single Summertime feat Willie Nelson.
I believe it is not the role of the federal or state government to deny us the right to make our own reproductive choices. Rather, it is the government’s charge to protect this right from any agency that might attempt to revoke it. -me
Facts-
1. I was a side player for the first half of my musical life. Billy Joe convinced me that I was a real songwriter (based on two songs) and I should move to Nashville.
2. I was working for Billy Joe the first time Jason saw me play.📷-

Recently, I had an ectopic pregnancy ( or as grandma would call it, a tubal). On August 9, 2021 my fallopian tube ruptured. On August 10, my life was saved…these are some dark days
For those that ask why I am at some
@JasonIsbell
shows and not others. For those that ask if I’ll be at this or that particular show, this is my answer.
The
@highwomen
récord is two years old today. Congratulations♥️ I’m gonna dig up some stuff to show y’all soon. In the mean time here’s one from the session.
The speech
@rosannecash
delivered last night the
@americanafest
awards show was incredible and beautiful. Read it here. And thank you Rosanne for being a light.
I met
@JustinTEarle
and
@jblackdub
when I was playing this show
@mercylounge
with
@JasonIsbell
. I loved and still love JTE. I loved him most laughing and clean. I choose to remember the great times-Like the day we met at this show and played pool.
One year ago today, the doctors & nurses at St David’s Medical in Austin, TX saved my life. I’m grateful & happy to be here. Thank you Dr. McCorkle, Dr. Mileur & to everyone that helped me make it through ♥️
Jason played Red Eye for my whole set yesterday
@ShoalsFest
. It was glorious yesterday…and it’s all still playing in loop in my head & heart today. 🎶💕
I’ve done a lot of shows at night on TV. This was my first late night performance under my own name. It meant/means so much to me. Thank you
@latelateshow
…for real
I think it’s funny when some ding-dong says “Stick to music, liberal.” I’m like “Hell yeah, Steve. You got one thing right today. And thanks for noticing. And more than likely I’ll keep sticking to music too.”
Bobbie Nelson was one of the first women musicians that I ever saw on stage. She was the first example I had of a woman playing music while also having a family. I’m honored to have known her. My deepest sympathies to the Nelson family.

So
@amandashires
made a record and the best way I can describe it is she went to musical outer space Abe brought back a diamond from an asteroid.
It has a 1000% out of 10 stars and it's glued to my turntable and brain.
What a record. Holy moly. LISTEN
Abortion isn’t a tough decision. It’s tough to deal with being targeted. It’s tough not having anyone to talk to about your health situation or thought process.
