If anyone ever told Kacey Musgraves to get a real job she certainly wasn’t going to listen. This interview from October 2011 finds a wide-eyed newcomer nervous and grateful for airplay and attention, but every bit as confident as the woman we saw 10 years later, speaking her mind and posing provocatively in magazine pages. Back then, she hadn’t figured it all out yet, but she’d figured out enough.

Host Buddy Logan asks Kacey about new music, new songs she wrote for other famous artists and more. She also talks about the Josh Abbott Band, the subject of Ep. 2 of Radio Texas Live Legends.
