Pageant Material is the much anticipated follow-up to Grammy Award winning debut album Same Trailer, Different Park.
Kacey Musgraves worked with the same creative team as on her 2013 debut, which she co-produced with Shane McAnally and Luke Laird. She co-wrote every song on the new album, which also includes contributions from Josh Osborne and Natalie Hemby.
“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.”
