    I'm not a very big fan of country music. I liked some songs a couple of years ago and that's it. The first entire album for me was 'Like a Rose' by Ashley Moore. Listened to it a couple of weeks ago, and it wasn't particularly great. Kinda okay, i guess.

    But this one is a lot better. It got good lyrics every now and then, the music and vocals are okay, and pretty great on some. The

    It's not a classic of course, but i'm definitely giving country a try.

    She’s got a superb knack for melodies, even if it means swiping them from Radiohead (“I Miss You” is a blatant “Creep” rip, probably another country first) and maybe Jimmy Eat World (“Silver Lining”). “Dandelion” is so gorgeous that anything other than teenage notebook poetry would wreck its mood.

    Songwriting thus warm and wise can't be as easy as Musgraves makes it sound. [Jul 2013, p.108]

    Musgrave just paints a picture of their shared solitude, and she lets us see our absurd selves in the lives of others.
