“I’m not trying to prove anything. I feel like a grown-ass woman on this record, but it’s also not trying too hard.,” says Morris, of her new album Humble Quest.

In hindsight, the Rodeo was an inflection point, a triumphant finale for her first act before she could finally pause for a brief intermission. After five years of nonstop writing, hustling, and touring, Morris was ready to slow down once she returned to Nashville. She intended to have her baby, take a proper maternity leave, and eventually build on the handful of songs she’d written for her next album.
It’s so strange: I wrote “Hummingbird” the day that I found out I was pregnant. It’s one of the last things that I was able to share with busbee, and he was so excited for us. Shortly before he died, Ryan and our friend, [songwriter] Jon Green, who was really close friends with busbee as well, wrote “What Would This World Do,” which is the final song of this record.
Many of these songs are the sort you can only reach after a certain amount of lived experience, like “Background Music,” which speaks to your connection with Ryan. How has writing and performing with him evolved for you?
