Song: Follow Your Arrow
Album: Same Trailer Different Park
Okay, so we all know that I don't lean toward female artists very often. With that being said, I'm going to share a couple of ladies over the next few posts that I admire. Kacey Musgraves is at the top of that list. This young woman is just a few short months younger than me and she's done so much!
She was born in August of 1988 and started writing songs at the age of 8 years old! She even wrote a song for her elementary graduation. Her first musical instrument was a mandolin. Later on she began playing the guitar and taking lessons. She says that picking up the guitar was one of the most important things she'd ever done in her life.
2013 was a monumental year for Kacey. She had released 3 albums on her own before signing a record deal with Nashville Records in 2012. She released "Same Trailer Different Park" in 2013. That album went gold with one of it's songs going platinum. In 2013, Kacey tied with Taylor Swift and Lorde for most nominated female artist for Grammy Nominations. Now THAT is impressive, if you ask me.
So, do you happen to be a fan of the Miranda Lambert song, "Mama's Broken Heart"? Well, if you are, then you can thank Kacey Musgraves. She co-wrote the song. This young lady is known for having controversial lyrics in a traditional music style. That's part of why I love her so much. She is undeniably herself. She writes and sings and plays what she thinks. No bones about it. I mean, hell, just listen to the song!
By the way, you have got to go listen to "Blowin' Smoke" by her. Great song. Also, "Biscuits" is said to be released on March 16, 2015. That's the new single from her upcoming album. Kacey has sang with multiple country artists and did a duet with Josh Abbott on his song "Oh, Tonight".
This Texas girl is making big waves nationwide. I love her raw lyrics and can't wait to hear what she comes up with next.
Enjoy!
