A spate of shared bills brought them together, but the Wonder Women of Country have cemented their partnership with a kaleidoscope of throw

back country soundscapes and intricate harmonies. On their debut six-song EP titled after each of their last names, the Texas-rooted supergroup – Kelly Willis, Melissa Carper, and Brennen Leigh – uses their combined prowess to sharpen and polish each other’s sensibilities. Each songwriter claims songwriting credits on two tracks, some co-written, giving listeners a cohesive but distinct tour through styles.

Leigh and Carper’s shared love of Hank Williams and the Carter Family shines through on the sweet, mandolin-driven “Won’t Be Worried Long,” rooted by Carper’s arresting soprano. A stilling reimagining of John Prine and Roger Cook’s “I Have Met My Love Today” closes the EP, the trio’s precise, clean harmonies intertwining over poignant accordion lines and simple, hand-thumped percussion.
