Kacey Musgraves Finds an Alluring Wellspring of Finger-Picking and Hard-Fought Bliss in ‘Deeper Well’: Album Review
Kacey Musgraves turns her collaboration with Daniel Tashian and Ian Fitchuk into a trilogy with 'Deeper Well," an album full of finger-picking and hard-fought bliss.
It’s safe to assume that Musgraves didn’t really mean to instigate a trilogy, exactly, when she started up work on “Golden Hour” with co-producers and co-writers Daniel Tashian and Ian Fitchuk, trusted souls who remain her glued-at-the-hip collaborators for a third time here. These leftover feelings have their impact further felt in what might be the album’s best song, “Too Good to Be True,” in which Musgraves tenderly murmurs that she’s bringing some old hesitations into a newer romance, singing, “Please don’t make me regret opening up that part of myself again.” If you were inclined to coin a Musgraves-esque phrase, you could say she’s on a wary-go-round. “The Architect,” the album’s one writing collaboration with seminal partners Shane McAnally and Josh Osbourne, finds her questioning God about the problem of evil and the beautiful puzzle of everyday miracles, like even an unexpected new romance.
