In the beginning, I wrote OK songs, but they didn't have a unique perspective.
From Kacey Musgraves
I'm all about small towns. I think it's a great place to grow up.
A label's typical plan would be to put something out that's safer and get fans, and then push buttons, but my idea is to push buttons first, scare off the people who are gonna be scared off, and then the right people will like you for who you really are, and stay with you.
I don't push buttons to push buttons. Throwing the rebel card out there is really cheap.
I realize that I'm not going to be everybody's cup of tea, and that's okay. I think that's the point of music.
I feel like, big city or small town, you can relate to following your parents' footsteps or putting your own dreams on the back burner or vices that we get caught up in - that whole cycle. That's not just a small-town thing. That's a life thing.
When I was nine, I was singing western swing: Roy Rogers and Patsy Cline. It got me noticed because no one my age was doing it, but it made me feel inferior because none of my friends could relate to it.
Certain kinds of people will always have an issue with my music. But that's fine; it's OK. I don't want to be the McDonald's of music. I don't want to not turn anyone off. If you were everybody's cup of tea, you'd probably be boring.
I like when people have Western style, but it's throwback Seventies-ish. I like pearlsnap shirts and a bow-tie like the KFC man.
You can't beat Freddie Mercury. He was a mad man in the best sense possible.
