Nashville, TN – Mercury Nashville’s Kacey Musgraves will release her sophomore album, Pageant Material, on June 23rd. The album features her current single “Biscuits,” which is climbing the charts at country radio. Musgraves co-wrote all tracks on Pageant Material and also co-produced with Shane McAnally and Luke Laird.
                  
“Going back into the studio this time around was really fun and exciting for me because I knew more about myself and my direction,” said Musgraves. “The majority of Pageant Material was recorded live–which was a bit of a departure from “Same Trailer”–and gave it more of a concise, classic sound. All of the incredible musicians were in the same room playing on the entire record, and I think that spirit comes across. The last couple of years have done so much for me, and this project was really affected by that in the best way. There are certain moments lyrically that still hit me hard even after listening so many times. It’s a great glimpse into where my head is from “Same Trailer” to now.”

Kacey Musgraves (Biscuits-fun way to start album) OC: …the record.  :35
“It was really hard to pick my first single for this record, because I feel like it’d been a while since I’d said anything and I’ve been one to put out weighty messages or whatever; every song has a message. So, I was like, ‘What am I gonna say next?’ I remember we had listened to everything and gotten most of ’em mixed and had kind of a listening party. I just felt like ‘Biscuits’ was really right. Mostly, it was upbeat. It was fun and just plain country, and it just made no excuses for itself in that way. And I just felt like it would be a fun way to start off the record.”
