Review:
Another fine album from Kacey Musgraves
Golden Hour is a bit of a departure for Kacey Musgraves, but
it is still a very fine album.
There's nothing here with the defiant exuberance of Follow
Your Arrow or the laugh-out-loud Family Is Family ("They may smoke like
chimneys, but they give you their kidneys" remains one of my favourite
lines of all time), but it's still thoughtful, emotionally intelligent
stuff. Musgraves is dealing here with
much more personal matters, with her gift for great tunes, quietly witty and
insightful lyrics and that lovely voice, used to perfection.
The mood of Golden Hour is generally more like It Is What It
Is or Late To The Party, which makes for a fine album of very listenable songs
with genuine emotional weight. I like it
very much and I get more out of it with every listen. Warmly recommended.
