Kacey Musgraves Signs With Lost Highway Records, Embraces Country Return

Kacey Musgraves has signed with Lost Highway Records, the label that first signed her at the start of her career before it folded in 2012 and was recently relaunched. Musgraves describes this move as emotional and a 'no-brainer,' reflecting on the memories and growth she experienced since her early days with the label. While her return and new cover of Hank Williams’ 'Lost Highway' have sparked speculation about a 'return to country,' Musgraves clarifies that she never left the genre, emphasizing that country music remains her home base while she continues to explore other sounds. She highlights the importance of authenticity and balancing traditional and modern influences in her work.
