    • About this album: "Deeper Well" is Kacey Musgraves' sixth studio album, marking a departure from her previous pop-oriented sound, returning to her roots in country and folk music. The album explores themes of personal growth, self-discovery, and the complexities of relationships. Musgraves' introspective lyrics and soulful vocals, combined with the album's lush production, create a rich listening experience.
    • Metacritic Score: 78 (Generally favorable reviews).
    • Grammy Nominations: Best Country Album: Deeper Well, Best Country Song: "The Architect," Best Country Solo Performance: "The Architect," Best Americana Performance: "Don't Do Me Good" with Madi Diaz, Best Engineered Album Non-Classical: Deeper Well.
    • Song To Sample: "The Architect," an existential tune that grapples with profound questions about life, purpose, and the universe. Joni Mitchell couldn't have done it any better.
    • Trivia Bonus: One of the first songs Musgraves wrote was a tribute to her musical hero, John Prine. In her younger days, approached John Prine at a show and tried to get him to smoke marijuana with her. He declined, but the two became friends and Prine served as a mentor to Musgraves. Some of the lyrics from the song she wrote about him (which talked about how her idea of heaven was to "burn one with John Prine") ended up incorporated into some of her later songs, including "Slow Burn." On "Deeper Well," Musgraves seems to indicate she's grown beyond recreational drug use in favor of more sober and meaningful pursuits. "Cardinal," one of the songs on the album, is a tribute to Prine, who died in 2020 due to complications from COVID.

    pretty great. in a world where algorithmic appeal shapes most contemporary music musgraves sings of the mundane, slow, and patient. this isnt to say the album is simple-minded; rather, it reflects the inherent beauty of everything. refreshing and beautiful. not her best album but a real good listen.
