Summary
Last time we had Noah in the studio was 2022 so there’s a lot to catch up on.
We talk about her deeply collaborative, deluxe version of Americana-country album, I WANT MY LOVED ONES TO GO WITH ME — which features collabs with everyone from Fleet Foxes to Bill Callahan, Blake Shelton to Ella Langley, and her brother Braison and her dad Billy Ray and even her grandad. We talk about all this plus working with her bestie Orville Peck who jumps in on pod via phone, stepping into a co-production role, her fiancé Pinkus, her horse Constantine (and his ashes), plus two rounds of tonsillectomy — one of which punctured her lung!
Noah also opens up about her journey with therapy and Borderline Personality Disorder dealing with loss and fear of abandonment, giving her parents grace and understanding, and working with XXXtancion. She’s as beautifully candid and funny and forthright as ever.
