Kacey Musgraves Deeper Well CD

The music on Deeper Well, the seven-time Grammy winner’s fifth album, is almost chimeric. Rolling
acoustic guitars, puffy clouds of strings and synth, warm bass punctuations, layered harmonies,
moments of Celtic melody and plenty of room on the tracks for Musgraves’ silvery vocals. On the bright,
almost folky title track, the 30-something songstress surveys her life and priorities, recognizing what
feeds her, drains her and even examines the childhood she’s left behind on her way to now.
Saturn returns, cardinals embody a dead friend, love is given and taken, streets rush by, belongings are
packed and old chapters deserted, new love blooms, jade bracelets serve as talismans, deep lessons
emerge, small details define everything, the woods are a refuge and New York City serves as the same
gleaming beacon as Oz.
