#02 on Rolling Stone's 50 Best Albums of 2018 list
02 | Kacey Musgraves, βGolden Hourβ Her pop breakthrough was more than just Musgravesβ transformation from Loretta Lynn-styled country music subversive into a cosmic soft-rock cowgirl (with disco leanings). It was a sly exploding of all rules dictating what constituted βcountryβ in 2018. It went top five pop and hit #1 on the country charts, all with β predictably β scant support from mainstream country radio. The LP is expansive yet down-home, chill despite its grand ambitions delivering gracious wonder (βSlow Burnβ), trademark sass (βHigh Horseβ), Daft Punky vocoder (βOh, What A Worldβ), and an LSD-inspired song about her mom (βMotherβ).

I don't know why, but I want to see Kacey do a CMT Crossroads with Lana Del Rey. And I don't even like Lana...

I like Katy just fine but I thought Kacey outshone her in her own songs especially on Firework. Also, they surprisingly sound really great together.

The Kacey/Katy duet of βKeep it To Yourselfβ is one that I revisit constantly.

Cute little article on The Los Angeles Times
Kacey Musgraves envisioned her Grammy-nominated 'Golden Hour' as a 'beautiful hiding place'

I'm dead. The hair, the outfit, the boots, the WHIP. Literally makes every other guest judge in show history look like dirt.

Kacey got interviewed by RuPaul and Michelle Visage for their What's The Tee podcast My favorite part is their exchange about female artists on country radio at 41:00 RuPaul: What are the Top 5 females country radio would play? Kacey: I seriously doubt there's even five Michelle: Carrie Underwood? Kacey: Carrie! They play her. They play Kelsea Ballerini. Michelle: I don't even know who that is... RuPaul: I don't know who that is Michelle: Thank you Michelle: I would imagine... Reba? Kacey: Nope! RuPaul: Not anymore RuPaul: Miranda Lambert? Kacey: They don't play her anymore Michelle: Faith Hill?? Kacey: HELL NO. They don't play her anymore. I like her though! RuPaul: There's... hum... There's another girl Kacey: See. That's the f*cking point... you can't even name
Michelle: That's a shame
Kacey: You scroll down the chart and it's like: penis, penis, penis! It's a f*cking sausage party all the time!
And I think it's interesting cause there are girls that are unique and have something different to offer. You can look at 5 girls and they are all different, but they can't get radio play. Then you look at 35 dudes that are all-the-f*cking-same and hello, there they are!

I don't follow country radio but have any of its big male stars spoken out about the ridiculous sexism in any serious way? Like beyond a retweet or something? Or, have they even done that?

Obviously not, since most of them are benefiting from this situation big time. There is a lot of generic talent lacking male artists that wouldn't have a career if radio worked as it's supposed it.

I've decided that if I ever get married, I will be dancing to "Rainbow" with my Mom at my wedding. Not to get all sappy and personal, but I've been through a lot of crazy shit in my life and my Mom has always been there for me even though we don't get along at times. The song just reminds me of my Mom telling me that everything is going to be alright.

The same YouTube reviewer who reviewed Kacey's album a week or two ago listed "Golder Hour" as her #1 album of 2018! Pretty impressive, especially when the rest of the list (top 10) is pretty much all Urban music (and a few pop albums)

I just bought the limited edition picture vinyl of this on Urban Outfittersβ website just to have as a sort of collectible item and maybe even have her sign it one day.
Apparently, thereβs a cassette as well (from other retailers), but theyβre sold out wherever I look online. I saw Kacey put a fanβs post of his Golden Hour cassettes on her Instagram story.
