With her latest album, Highlander,
bluegrass/Americana icon Missy Raines takes inventory of where she
stands at this current juncture in her storied career — this
melodic ode to her native West Virginia, which simultaneously
serves as an ideal prism of time and space Raines peers through
into the unknowns of tomorrow.
Throughout her storied career, Raines has garnered
some of the biggest accolades in the music industry, including 14
International Bluegrass Music Association honors, with 10 being
awarded for “Bass Player of the Year.” Raines’ 2018 release Royal
Traveller was also nominated for a Grammy Award for “Best Bluegrass
Album” in 2020.
