Kacey Musgraves - 2013 Anticipation

they were definitely a good live match for her. i believe she is dating one of them as well.

Oh no, that never ends well ...

Love hearing "Follow Your Arrow" on the radio almost every day. Love the kids singing along with it in the back seat. Makes me feel like I'm living the ending of some whimsical indie dramedy.

do they edit out the smoke a joint line from the radio?

No, not on country music, at least. Surprisingly.

they don't edit out talk of getting stoned on Johnny Cash songs, or Hank Jr songs (prolly a bunch of others too) so I wouldn't expect country radio to edit Kacey Musgraves either

any guesses as to which would be the biggest vote-getter in 2013 polls, 'merry go round' or 'smoke' or 'arrow'?

last December I first heard "Merry Go Round" in the radio while driving through Nashville. today I heard on the same station again driving through, but this year the dj was effusive about her accomplishments this year. very cool year!

arrow was around longer and made the rounds on the awards show, so i'd guess that.

no, i think 'merry go round' was around longer - technically a 2012 single - and was nommed for awards etc., but 'arrow' is fresher, maybe more prone to attract votes?

my guess is that "blowin' smoke" will be mostly neglected, with "merry go 'round" and "follow your arrow" sharing the attention.

if we're talking pazz & jop, it's worth noting that "merry go 'round" already placed there last year (25th). i am guessing, since many didn't hear the song until she started getting lots of press in 2013 (i myself didn't hear the song until it was peaking at radio -- maybe january?), that it'll get votes this year as well. p&j does that thing where it includes a song's votes from the previous year if the number of new votes is great enough (i think at least ~half the previous total), so if that happens it could place again, presumably higher.

yes, that was my reason for wondering about the probable numbers

if only 'stupid' was a single, then i could vote my heart :/

kacey performed WITH MIGUEL at a carole king tribute concert and i am distraught that i can't find video anywhere :(

!!!!!!!!

i like this album!

Which Carole King song did they do (assuming they did one)?

Also Bob Harris (Time Out founder/Old Grey Whistle Test Presenter) put 'Merry Go Round' on his Desert Island Discs this week, which was pretty cool.

the article i saw says they covered the everly bros "crying in the rain". still doesn't seem to be any video out there alas...

yasssss this was always coming, RW xtian blog about kacey that basically calls her the ACTUAL DEVIL

it's true, she has a surprise guest appearance on the new behemoth even

Musgraves has bought into the same "apple," and would love to have music fans everywhere join her in the fruity snack

Follow Your Apple

Music fans everywhere! Join her in the fruity snack!

i dont listen to country really but just posting to say this album rules

The wife and I happened upon the Grammy performance of "Follow Your Arrow," and I just saw the CD on sale at Target for only $7.50 so we picked it up. I am one of those people who say "I hate country music but I love Johnny Cash" to the annoyance of many bu it's kind of true.

just did austin city limits

apparently at a recent show w/ lady antebellum she said "keep it to yourself" is being released as a new radio single: http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/music-review-lady-antebellum-and-kacey-musgraves-at-the-patriot-center/2014/02/23/90734364-9ca5-11e3-8112-52fdf646027b_story.html

happy about that bc it is my favorite on the album but also bc it probably means she is not being rushed to crank out a second album too soon

i think it's just a great indication that the label is being supportive of an album that has not really been a blockbuster. probably all that airtime on The Grammys helped them decide to release a 4th single.

Some Lady A fans may be getting to the gigs early and discovering her via the live show too

Now she's gonna go out on tour with Willie Nelson and Alison Krauss...Getting her name out to their audiences instead

(From FB) She was just working with Brian Wilson

so not gonna happen

studio version of live staple "the trailer song" has been released to itunes etc

it's pretty nice and i did enjoy it at her show but i understand it having been left off the album

Covered No Scrubs live tonight <3333

Nice. Any new material?

yeah, a couple of new ones, one was a charming song about weed and another was a charming kinda-rewrite of "follow your arrow"

she said she hasn't had time to write much and apologised for playing same trailer songs but she's going back in the studio in the autumn

sounds like a familiar story: second album harder to write b/c artist on the road.

second album after major label debut that is

:\ i hope she's not tempted to churn out rewrites of "follow your arrow"

http://m.cmt.com/news/1731108/

Glad to hear it is with the same creative team

Charming as ever last night. Three new-ish songs - "Biscuits," "High Time" and "Cup of Tea," each very much in the vein of her other stuff. Bunch of great covers, including Dolly's "Here You Come Again" and TLC's "No Scrubs." Cool light up suits and boots. And cacti.

Mama's Broken Heart, written by musgraves (and clarke and mcanally) rereleased as a Kacey single on Spotify after showing up on Miranda's last album back
it's pretty great

Yup.
