Kacey Musgraves' first holiday album, A Very Kacey Christmas, evokes a strong sense of '60s nostalgia and embraces a kitschy, exotica sound. The album features an unexpected collaboration with country music legend Willie Nelson, adding a unique flavor to the festive collection.
Musgraves masterfully navigates the fine line between what was once considered tacky and what now feels genuinely nostalgic. The album's selection leans into campy novelties, elegant standards, and original tunes, drawing inspiration from the mid-'60s era.
Key tracks include a charming rendition of 'Christmas Don't Be Late' and a playful take on 'I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas.' The album concludes with 'What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?', offering a fitting end to the holiday soundscape.
