Kacey Musgraves - Silver Lining

American country singer/songwriter Kacey Musgraves has just released her first major label album, the gorgeous Same Trailer Different Park (what a title). Filled with 12 more or less extremely melodic and catchy pop/country songs that should make the competition blush, it's one of the most immediate albums I have heard so far this year. Included are of course last year's awesome single "Merry Go 'Round", but it's got some very good company in terms of quality. All the songs are co-writes, but I guess it's fair to say that Musgraves is a talent to be reckoned with. "Silver Lining" (written with Shane McAnally and John Osborne) is the wonderful opening track that starts with the killer line "Woke up on the wrong side of rock bottom". And Kacey will become a superstar, mark my words.
