On their sixth album 'Tigers Blood' Katie Crutchfield achieves peak artistic prowess by combining close-quarters songwriting with elaborate alt-country musical components. A mix of nostalgic and chaotic elements run through 'Lone Star Lake' along with intertwining melancholy and longing. Brandon Cook and alt-country star MJ Lenderman join Crutchfield and producer Brad Cook as Crutchfield lets the music expand while these close collaborators perform intuitively. Through her vocal performance she delivers nostalgic sonorous melodies which intersect with defiant notes yet collaborative vocal harmonies heighten emotional intensity. From its compassionate narrative to its simple yet effective combination of love and domestic comfort 'Tigers Blood' delivers an endearing experience.
