AUDIO: Kacey Musgraves expresses hope that folks with be able to identify with the songs on her debut album, Same Trailer, Different Park.

Kacey Musgraves (fans will hopefully identify with album) OC: …that, too. :25

“Well, hopefully when people hear Same Trailer, they will…obviously love it, but also I hope they walk away with just knowing that I’m influenced by so many different kinds of things, and I hope they just connect in some way. I mean, if I can make somebody feel something then I feel like I’ve done my job as a songwriter. So, that’s my favorite part — just being inspired by something I went through and seeing other people say, ‘I get it, like I went through that, too.’”
