I've always loved Lurleen Lumpkin's country music, so I was happily surprised to hear her voice come out of my speakers with a whole new batch of mobile home songs. What, you say that's not Lurleen; that it's some gal named Kacey whose main claim to fame was coming in number seven on television's Nashville Star? Oh well, same trailer, different park.

"Merry Go 'Round," the spectacular gut-punch single from 24-year-old Texan country singer Kacey Musgraves, dropped out of the clear blue sky in September. Same Trailer Different Park proves Musgraves is for real. Although she sings just fine, she doesn't have a powerful voice; like all Nashville bands, hers can play, but the music is careful, meticulous, midtempo. But man, can Musgraves write...

Female country stars are such a rarity these days that some people may be inclined to compare Kacey Musgraves, one of the most dynamic new voices to come along in years, to her few contemporaries, like Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert...
