One of the hardest working singer-songwriters in the game is named Katie
Crutchfield. She was born in Alabama, grew up near Waxahatchee Creek. Skipped
town and struck out on her own as Waxahatchee. That was over a decade ago.
Crutchfield says she never knew the road would lead her here, but after six critically
acclaimed albums, she's never felt more confident in herself as an artist. While her
sound has evolved from lo-fi folk to lush alt-tinged country, her voice has always
remained the same. Honest and close, poetic with Southern lilting. Much like Carson
McCullers's Mick Kelly, determined in her desires and convictions, ready to tell
whoever will listen.
And after years of being sober and stable in Kansas City-after years of sacrificing
herself to her work and the road-Crutchfield has arrived at her most potent
songwriting yet. On her new album, Tigers Blood, Crutchfield emerges as a
powerhouse-an ethnologist of the self-forever dedicated to revisiting her wins and
losses. But now she's arriving at revelations and she ain't holding them back
