My Weekly Top 10 January 31, 2014: #2 Kacey Musgraves - Merry Go Round

Kacey Musgraves Gets Grammy Recognition!

 

 

 

Kudos to the Grammy voters for giving Kacey Musgraves the Country Album and the Country Song awards this year! This was the best surprise I got to see from the winners list!!

Kacey Musgraves may be a total unknown here in Manila but to some people who listen to country music, her subversive lyrics and themes may have given her songs some space in some peoples Itunes lists. It did to me! This one and Mama's Broken Heart were just 'different' from most country songs I listen to - tapos babae pala nagsulat - which really made it more interesting!

She's actually a breath of fresh air to the current country music scene and I'm glad she got recognized agad. At least now, the Grammys don't wait till mamatay ang tao bago nila bigyan ng award!!
