Georgia

"Georgia" is older than the album. It first appeared on the Killer EP or 7-inch from the PAX AM series (April 28, 2015 per Diffuser; MusicBrainz lists an EP date of March 31, 2014 for a 4:26 recording, and the 7-inch at 4:33), and she re-recorded it for the 2017 debut, where it is track seven at 4:07 with Berg and Gruska producing and Mike Mogis mixing. MusicBrainz credits Bridgers on lead vocal and guitar, Berg on guitar and keyboard, Harrison Whitford on guitar, Gruska on piano, Greg Leisz on pedal steel, Gabe Noel on cello, Daniel Rhine on double bass, Marshall Vore on percussion and Gabe Witcher on violin. A low-reliability lyrics site credits her with the writing. We found no statement from her about the song; NPR's World Cafe headline calls it an ode to new love, which is a framing, not her words. It was not a single and has no video that we found.

She played it on KXLU's LIVATION in 2014 and for the Daytrotter session at the Horseshack in Iowa on April 17, 2016 (6:39), opened her three-song Paste Studio session with it in New York on July 31, 2017, and played it for NPR's World Cafe on April 10, 2018 with the guitar Ryan Adams gave her during the Killer session. At the Newport Folk Festival on July 28, 2018 it was third in a set of ten. Search summaries say it returned to her 2026 sets, which we did not verify. We could not tell whether our upload is the 2017 version, the EP or a live clip, and found no covers; a cover of a different "Georgia" by Mariel and Tom Waits's "Georgia Lee" are not this song.
