Despite all the terrible shit that's happened over the past couple years, people survive and create. Today, country icon Wynonna Judd and indie mainstay Waxahatchee shared a new song called "Other Side" that was birthed out of this confounding time. The chorus celebrates the inspiring strength of good people going through bad times: "I got a heart, got a heart of gold / Casts a shadow, dark and cold / If we move our way against the tide / There’s something on the other side."
"In the midst of everything that has happened, I said that I would continue to sing,” Wynonna explained. “So, here I am. I met Katie Crutchfield last year and we connected immediately. We recorded 'Other Side' in the studio here on the farm and it was one of my favorite recording experiences ever. I’m thankful for the opportunity to sing with the next generation of greatness."
“Working with Wynonna and Cactus [Moser, Wynonna’s husband] on this song was one of the more creatively stimulating and exciting experiences I’ve had in my songwriting career,” Crutchfield added. “Wynonna is an icon and a fountain of wisdom. Sharing space with her to create something new was really nothing but a joy and an honor. Her spirit inspires me daily and her continued encouragement has meant the world. Together, with Cactus, we made an amazing team and I’m so excited to share this song.”
