Love Kacey, so would like to participate, but so many rankdowns, so little time! Ugh! Is the deadline set in stone? I mean, why do I have to extend deadline for a two album rankdown ? 😉

Thanks for tagging me!!! :o It's a crazy month of travel (just did a round-the-world trip) for work so there's little time for so many interesting rankdowns... At the same time, I've been quiet interested in Kacey... Follow... was my favorite country song of its year. I've heard 3 other good singles too, and I was planning to buy her first album but didn't manage to do it... so this is like the best opportunity to check her entire discography!! So I'll participate --despite my little knowledge of her songs. In my previous rankdowns I've been open to give a good chance to unknown songs and several of them have managed to rank better thank known songs, so I think I can be fair

My list is finished. Sending it in now.
This might actually be the hardest rankdown I've done yet. Nearly every song is perfect. My entire top 17 could be my number one. :'(

About halfway done with my list. I cannot believe how much her voice is reminding me of Lee Ann Womack right now!

Alright, I have submitted. Both of these albums were a first-time listen for me, so this was quite difficult to rank! Don't judge me if my rankings completely mess everything up and go opposite from the pack, because I have no clue what songs other people like. I will say I am not really a fan of her preachier songs, but lyrically everything here is freaking exceptional.

I have also always thought her voice had a certain quality to it that reminds me of LAW. As far as pack mentality, there's really only one song of hers that stands out, and it's Follow Your Arrow. The rest kind of end up all being universally praised in a tie with some people preferring this song or that song, so there shouldn't be any screw up at all! I'm so excited to see where everything lands here for that reason.

I don't think she sounds anything like Lee Ann Womack. I also realized I'd forgotten how like a good 5 or so of these songs sounded despite hearing them all 30+ times at least since I own both records. She's absolutely great, but she definitely has a fair amount of filler or just less remarkable songs, imo.

I ranked it lower than most probably will too because the song hasn't aged the best with me.

Yes a Kacey Musgraves rankdown! Definitely count me in! Kacey's been one of my favorite country artists since "Merry Go 'Round" and I own both Same Trailer Different Park and Pageant Material. Actually the "arrow" part of my username comes from "Follow Your Arrow".

I'll probably submit it on the 2nd because I'm busy until the 1st, so I'd be fine without an extension, but idk about other people so... I'll make sure to participate since I love Kacey!

I really wanted to participate in this but with the 2014 country Rankdown that I need to work on and with the final 2 tests that I have on June 6th & 8th I don't think that I'll have the time to work on it :/

I honestly haven't heard many of her songs aside from a few singles, so this will give me a reason to familiarize myself with her music and who knows, maybe even find a newfound appreciation for her. It's not that I dislike her - she's clearly extremely talented, but her voice just isn't interesting to me at all. My favorite from her is "Blowin' Smoke" and I think her voice sounds really good on that one, so maybe there's some other gems in her catalogue that I'm missing. We shall see.

Kacey certainly doesn't have an especially spectacular voice in and of itself, but she's a storyteller and does an incredible job making you feel every word she's singing, which is a rare talent. She's got some spectacular songs in her catalog, so I hope you enjoy some of them. :)

Yeah, her vocals aren't really anything to write home about. They're good, sure, but nothing spectacular. It's her personality and songwriting skills that are of the utmost quality.
Also, if you enjoy "Blowin' Smoke," then there's plenty of tracks you'll enjoy! Mainly thinking of "Stupid" and "Good Ol' Boys Club" as the tracks most similar to BS.

Definitely agree with the two posts above. Kacey has a very clear and divine vocals, but the one thing that made me stan for this woman is the subject of her songs. She knows how to write down her subjects with genius lyrics, and she emotes them really really well. Seriously dude, her songs are no joke. The first time I heard Follow Your Arrow it hits me HARD. Like, "Who is this girl? I want her to sing in my wedding!". She sings with such emotion that is straight to the heart of her listeners, every single song is a clever take on the issues around us.
Anyone who can touch my heart with a whole album from start to finish, without a single gap that is, must've been an angel sent from Heaven. And yep, Kacey is one.
