There’s something about Waxahatchee frontwoman Katie Crutchfield’s voice that sounds like coming home. It’s something in the twang or the timbre that feels oddly nostalgic, even for a time or a place that the listener has never been a part of. Maybe that’s why Waxahatchee’s appearance at The National on February 7 felt so intimate, even while...
