SAINT CLOUD

THE FIFTH album from singer-songwriter Katie Crutchfield is a roots-rock gut punch, steeped in her own Alabama upbringing and the influence of icons such as Lucinda Williams and Emmylou Harris. Whether she is likening love to honey on a spoon, reflecting on picked flowers in a soda bottle, or singing about getting sober, Crutchfield’s finest work yet is the kind of country comfort that feels at once immediate and timeless.
