The indie artist Waxahatchee, known for her gut-wrenching alt-country, demonstrates mastery of her craft on her sixth studio album, “Tigers Blood.” The Alabama-raised singer-songwriter Katie Crutchfield started her Waxahatchee project in 2010, following many years on the road with power pop-punk bands P.S. Eliot and Bad Banana. Those scrappy lo-fi days are long behind her: “Tigers Blood” is the work of a new kind of artist, and a natural progression from 2020’s “Saint Cloud,” the album that broke through to a much larger audience, writes The Associated Press’s Karena Phan. It’s a rootsy love letter to her chosen genres, to finding contentment and an artistic evolution.
