Program: Waxahatchee's songs that get right back to it

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.

Katie Crutchfield has been making music as Waxahatchee for almost 15 years. In the early days she self-released on cassette, lo-fi indie music that would blossom into Americana around a decade later. That foray, with her acclaimed album Saint Cloud, brought her a whole new audience. But she has always been a brilliant songwriter. 

Katie doesn’t waste a word, which is why I love chatting with her about songs. And why I asked her to Take 5. From classic country to the heavenly voice of Michael Stipe, let Waxahatchee take you into her record collection and foundations.
