For Imperial music, you connect it to all songs considered by Boilin with the surprising collaboration

between Wax-A-Hatchy's Katie Crutchfield and the LA-Based songwriter and singer Jess Williamson.

They call their project Plains, that's PLA-I-N-S, and they're set out to honor the classic country

they both grew up with. Here's Katie Crutchfield, and then Jess Williamson on the song,

Problem With It. When I brought Problem With It to the table, Plains already existed. We had a couple

songs that Jess had written, so I had a little something to go off of. The melody I had talked to

my back pocket for something wasn't sure when I was going to pull it out, and you know, it doesn't

feel innately country to me. It didn't feel innately country, and that was sort of the intention of

the project was to break country songs. It kind of has like a Southern rock feel to me,

but it just really clicked in, and it gave us sort of immediately a more dynamic sound.

Yeah, I was blown away when Katie showed me kind of the bones of Problem With It at that first

writing session for Plains, and you know, a lot of that first session was us just hanging out

and catching up on life, showing each other what we were working on, and when Katie came back with

the flesh out lyrics, she told me that they were inspired by some things we'd been talking about

that I was going through at the time, and I think that's such a cool, surprising part of the

collaborative nature of this project that like just stuff we were talking about as friends kind of

found its way into the song that Katie wrote.

I got to get some of you to say I got a problem with it

in the Kebb

Nee

My lips changed falling out

Got a heartbreak burned
