Bluegrass Women is Lindsay Lou’s third solo studio album, released on 14 August 2026 on the Work of Bart label. Lou and Shani Gandhi produced it, recording at Sound Emporium Studio B and Parlor Productions in Nashville. The ten songs come from women writers and collectors: Dorothy Skaggs’s “All I Ever Loved Was You,” Kate Wolf’s “Like a River,” Ola Belle Reed’s “High on a Mountain” and “I’ve Endured,” Joyce Morris and Jimmie Stanley’s “I Only Exist,” Hazel Dickens’s “Won’t You Come and Sing for Me,” Elizabeth Cotten’s “Freight Train,” and “Your Lone Journey,” credited to Rosa Lee Watson and Doc Watson. “Jubilee” was collected by Jean Ritchie, and the first verse of “CC Rider” is credited to Lena Arant.

Each song has its own lineup of women musicians. Alison Brown plays banjo and Laurie Lewis fiddle on “All I Ever Loved Was You,” Sierra Hull and Sarah Jarosz play mandolin and octave mandolin on “I’ve Endured,” Molly Tuttle plays guitar and sings harmony on “Freight Train,” and Aoife O’Donovan sings harmony on “Your Lone Journey.” Courtney Hartman, AJ Lee, Gena Britt, Brittany Haas, Allison de Groot and Sally Van Meter are among the others. A four-part documentary about the project accompanies the album.
