Some days you need to step back and listen to some beautiful music, beautiful lyrics, and calming sound, and for me Kacey Musgraves always fits that bill. I have adored her since 2018. Her music and singing are good for my soul. I loved her even more when she refused to bend the knee for Nashville, Tenn record label executives, coupled with her massive success, proves she is Nashville's, big machines worst nightmare. She is yet another female artist who managed to find widespread success in an industry that tried numerous times to muzzle her, with her Titled album and song , Same Trailor Different Park and Follow Your Arrow...both of which found controversy, for LGBT issues, homosexual tones and recreational marijuana. Follow you Arrow is such an inspirational song, the south needs to wake up. But that year at the Grammy's her amazing album was even withdrawn for Album of the Year, (even though other music critics said it was amazing and very well written), and found her blacklisted from country radio...but screw them, she has found her career and a successful one, with seven grammy wins in addition to seven CMA wins prior to all this, and wide acclaim since. Two of these clips are from her recent stunning set on Austin City Limits.
Thank you for this. I had not heard of her before and am glad that I now have. I like 'Follow your Arrow' very much.

ReplyDeleteCrystal clear voice and a spine as well; good on her for not backing down to the labels.
ReplyDeleteTalented and beautiful too!

ReplyDeleteI love this kind of experience! I have never heard her or of her. This is how I learn new music. thank you
ReplyDeleteI didn't even have to listen to the chorus of the first song. I love her music. It reminds me of a country Sarah MacLachlan in way.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of her, but never listened to her music. But now I will give her a listen.
ReplyDeleteShe is amazing! Such a beautiful voice! I also never miss Austin City Limits.
ReplyDeleteThe talent on that stage between Ms. Musgraves and the musicians is off the charts. I enjoyed all three of those songs.
ReplyDeleteShe has the most appealing voice I've heard in some time. She is also a pretty decent human being which makes it all the better. All these tunes are great The songs, Giver/Taker, and Nothing to be Scared Of are two of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteAfter losing both my parents in the last 15 months. The song Cardinal resonates with me.
ReplyDeleteI love her music, the more I hear, the more I like her.

ReplyDeleteI'm not used to hearing blue state sentiments emerging from a red state accent.
