SPIRIT OF THE WILD WOMAN
Americana singer-songwriter, producer and recording artist Brigitte London is proud to present Spirit of the Wild Woman, an ambitious 17-song double concept album celebrating the remarkable women whose courage, independence and unconventional lives helped shape the American West.
More than a collection of songs, Spirit of the Wild Woman is a musical odyssey into the lives and legacies of women who challenged expectations, defied convention and forged their own paths across the untamed frontier. From colorful personalities and adventurous trailblazers to complex figures whose stories deserve to be remembered, the album shines a spotlight on the unsung heroines of the West and the indomitable spirit that defined them.
Among the historical women whose lives and stories inspire the album are legendary frontier personality Calamity Jane, Dahteste, the Native American warrior and scout, Stagecoach Mary, the trailblazing African American stagecoach driver, the world’s first known cowgirl Lucille Mulhall, and notorious outlaw Belle Starr, along with numerous other remarkable women whose contributions and stories have often been overlooked by history.
AN EXTRAORDINARY COLLABORATION OF WOMEN IN MUSIC
The project features an extraordinary lineup of 12 special guest artists, representing a diverse cross-section of women in music, from established industry veterans and award-winning songwriters to exciting emerging voices.
In a remarkable collaborative undertaking, each guest artist partnered with Brigitte to co-write an original song inspired by a historical woman of the Wild West—and then joined her in performing that song on the album. Rather than simply featuring guest appearances, the project brings together 13 distinct female voices in a shared creative celebration of music, history and the enduring spirit of women.
