About
How do you follow up a debut album that set the country music world abuzz? If you’re Kacey Musgrave, you return with 2015’s <i>Pageant Material</i>, a mellow, countrypolitan masterpiece decked in rhinestone. Riding high on the success of 2013’s <i>Same Trailer, Different Park</i>, Musgraves doubled down on what made her sound so unique, reuniting with her producing and co-writing team of Shane McAnally and Luke Laird for a funny and bitterly honest album that skewers the “Good Ol’ Boys Club,” tells her life story (“Dime Store Cowgirl”), and offers the dysfunctional family anthem we didn’t know we needed (“Family is Family”). She even recruited pal Willie Nelson for the trippy-twangy hidden track “Are You Sure.” The album’s first single, “Biscuit,” is a rambunctiou, catchy ode to minding your own beeswax, but it’s <i>Pageant Material</i>’s opener, “High Time,” that really sets the stake. A lush, stoner, slow-down anthem of the highest accord—pun intended—the song finds Musgraves pandering to absolutely zero trend. Instead, she’s relaxed and introspective, thinking about how to stay connected with her Texas self as her fame rises: Success can change a person, but Musgraves has only stuck closer to her convictions as the awards rolled in—a path she ponders on the album’s title track: “I’d rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain’t,” she sing. Musgraves was sick of women having to please everyone—of having to keep a pretty face when their insides were feeling anything but. .
