Country

Kacey Musgraves

Kacey Musgraves is like a less-country version of Dolly Parton. Her unique voice isn’t necessarily country-sounding, but the meaning behind her music and the feeling it gives is undoubtedly country. Kacey started a year ago with several somewhat unknown albums, but this past year has changed that drastically. She released her album, The Golden Hour, in March of 2018 and then began 2019 off with an amazing Grammy’s appearance, performing and leading female artists at the awards show leaving with six Grammys under her belt. She may have been in shock when the Grammys found their way into her hands, but now Musgraves and the rest of the world know for certain what an incredible addition she makes to the world of country.
