Growing up, Ian Noe was drawn to songwriters like Tom T. Hall and Dwight Yoakam. In 2007, he won Appalachian StarSearch with his song "Don't Let The Morning Bring Ya Down" and after that he recorded a collection of his work as an eponymous album. He worked on an oil rig during the day and made music at night. He earned the opportunity to open for Colter Wall and that's when he started to grow a fan base. Landing a contract with Thirty Tigers, Noe made his debut full length album in Nashville with producer Dave Cobb.

Between The Country is Noe's debut album with stories of defiance and despair. "Barbara's Song" tells the story of a train crash in 1904 that makes the listener feel like they're right there with a melody that you just can't get out of your head. Noe has a talent for switching his narrative from modern lyrics to those that can include fighting against the elements with hints of love. "Letter to Madeline", "Loving You" and "Dead on the River (Rolling Down)" are intentionally slower placed while "That Kind of Love" and "It Today Doesn't Do Me In" are positive and upbeat.
