Available at Bennies Fifties and the online Fifties Store

Cosmic Cowgirls & Female Outlaws 1951–1979 is a fascinating compilation celebrating pioneering and independent-minded female artists from the history of country and folk music. Covering recordings from 1951 to 1979, the album explores a remarkable blend of traditional country, psychedelic folk, country rock and experimental sounds.

Compiled by Two Piers Records in collaboration with London's Stranger Than Paradise record shop, this collection pays tribute to women who forged their own paths through a music industry historically dominated by men.

The album features fifteen remarkable recordings by artists including Connie Converse, Susan Christie, Annette Peacock, Linda Perhacs, Linda Martell, Bridget St John, Bobbie Gentry, Loretta Lynn and Brigitte Fontaine.

From the haunting atmosphere of “Ghost Riders in the Sky” to the powerful country sound of “Mississippi Delta” and the experimental folk of “Paper Mountain”, this compilation highlights the creativity and diversity of female musicians in American and international roots music.

Released in 2026, this special edition is pressed on striking Red Sun Vinyl. The limited coloured vinyl pressing includes an artwork insert, making it an attractive addition for fans of obscure country, psychedelic folk and carefully curated compilations.
