  • “Raines’ stature as a true pioneer of her instrument and as a woman in the genre has given her a place to stand for generations to come, but Highlander proves she’s not interested in staying still.”

    -No Depression

  • "Missy Raines must now be regarded as one of America’s leading bluegrass singer-songwriters.”

    — Country Music People Magazine UK

  • "Every song on the album shines with the radiant light of her devotion to and passion for capturing the intricacies and beauty of the bluegrass music that has shaped her."

    - Henry Carrigan, Folk Alley

  • "Missy Raines' "Highlander" transcends the boundaries of a traditional album; it embodies a heartfelt homage to the music and community that profoundly influenced her life and career. This record invites both long-time fans and new listeners on a genuine and moving exploration into the essence of bluegrass music, showcasing Raines' passion and dedication to the genre."

    -Grateful Web

  • Raines’ lifetime spent steeped in bluegrass is on full display on HIGHLANDER. Beyond the impressive array of guest musicians and the outstanding performances of her bandmates, it’s Raines’ extensive knowledge of and deep passion for bluegrass music that make HIGHLANDER a bluegrass album for the ages.

  • "With modern-day bluegrass currently experiencing another high-water mark as names like Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle and Sierra Hull proudly carry the torch of tradition and evolution, Raines finds solidarity in the ongoing growth and progress of the “high, lonesome sound” — this fine line between respect and rebellion that Raines has seamlessly balanced since the beginning."
