Kacey Musgraves
This debut release from Kacey Musgraves, 18-year old singer/songwriter from Mineola, Texas contains 10 original songs, including several penned with co-writer Miranda Lambert, and two well-chosen covers.
Kacey's songwriting is to the point and from the heart. There is no shortage of attitude here, from the tongue-in-cheek humor of a redneck relationship gone bad in Nothing More to the in your face declaration 'You can stay here in Hell, I'm going back to Texas' of the first single, Back to Texas.
Pedal steel and fiddle mix with gritty guitars to create a sound that is unmistakably Texas, making the song a natural choice for the first single.
The two covers chosen to compliment the originals reveal some of the inspiration behind Kacey's music: Neil Young's Heart of Gold (featuring Kacey on harp) and The Byrds' You're Still On My Mind.
These songs serve notice that in the next generation of Texas music makers ready to rise up and be counted, one of them is a sassy brunette from East Texas with something to say.
