Plains - "Abilene"

 

The Power Duo

Katie Crutchfield And Jess Williamson’s Debut as Plains

I Walked with You a Ways Is Their New Album

 

Plains is a duo composed of Waxahatchee’s Katie Crutchfield and Jess Williamson their brand of country is a delicious mix of country folk. Their new album, I Walked With You a Ways, is their first as the duo Plains. There songwriting has an essence of pure country rawness with hints of pop and indie music sensibility. Both women started out in Indie music and then more to a more country sound. Their country sound is on full display with their centerpiece song “Abilene,” which has that old country twang mixed with well-crafted folk storytelling.

Brad Cook produced this well-rounded album, collaborating with both artists to carve out their signature sound. The two singers trade lead vocals and songwriting credits, bringing the two artists together through their splendid harmonizing which is evident on songs such as “Hurricane” "Saint Cloud" and "Sorceress." You can say this duo is outside of the mainstream, doing their best spin on vintage Americana and Country.
