When two of country music’s most powerful voices unite, magic happens. Anne Wilson and Lainey Wilson’s stripped-down performance of Praying Woman at the Grand Ole Opry isn’t just a song; it’s a spiritual experience. Backstage in the historic Women of Country dressing room, their harmonies weave a tapestry of faith, strength and raw emotion that leaves not a dry eye in the house.
The 2024 Opry NextStage artists deliver an intimate, acoustic rendition that highlights their vocal brilliance. Anne’s crystalline tones blend perfectly with Lainey’s signature rasp as they trade verses about faith’s enduring power. The sparse arrangement; just voices and guitar puts the spotlight squarely on the song’s moving message about the women who pray us through life’s storms.
