The 24-year-old Texas native has garnered massive critical acclaim with the single release of “Merry Go ‘Round” with a reputation of portraying an honest and sometimes uncomfortable truth has been featured in multiple press outlets. Rolling Stone named “Merry Go ‘Round” one of their “50 Best Songs of 2012” while NPR named her as their “Best New Artist of 2012” and included her in their “Best Music in 2013 preview”. Musgraves recently received her first Country Music Award nomination for New Female Vocalist for the 48th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards to be held in Las Vegas on Sunday, April 7.

After listening to Same Trailer Different Park, the Nashville-based singer-songwriter’s first album for Decca, it’s clear that this is a girl who has something to say. A true language artist, Kacey nimbly spins webs of words to create the quirky puns, shrewd metaphors, and steely ironies that fill the record. The fact that she executes these lingual exercises in a clear, unaffected voice makes the ride all the more fun.
