Waxahatchee: "Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, these women I grew up listening to feel like my family."

Waxahatchee

Waxahatchee’s Katie Crutchfield gives Kyle Meredith a call to talk about Saint Cloud, the new album that finds the singer-songwriter getting away from Out In the Storm’s rock sound and leaning into her rootsier upbringing. Crutchfield details how Lucinda Williams, Jason Molina, and the women of classic country leant a big influence to the record, how changing styles also changes how she writes, and the importance of places in her music. The Alabama-born artist also discusses her complicated relationship with the South when it comes to ideology and politics as well as being in a relationship with another artist when you know you’re writing songs about each other.

Listen to the interview above and then check out the videos below.

Kyle is the WFPK Music Director. Email Kyle at kmeredith@lpm.org
