From its opening notes, Kacey Musgraves' Pageant Material sounds like a sigh of relief. Her major-label debut, 2013's Same Trailer Different Park, positioned her as something akin to the country Kendrick Lamar, and her ascendance does feel corrective at a time when bro-country's red cup runneth over with EDM's structural dynamics, NRA talking points, and "rapping."
