Kahan "calls...back" Musgraves
Adding a new verse and perspective to the song, Musgraves sings a conversational back-and-forth with the breakout Vermont singer and songwriter over a buoyant guitar riff and beat.
She sings, "You love me, and I don't know why. I only call you once a week," as he counters on the hook, "Everything's alright when she calls me back."
Kahan said, "Kacey Musgraves is the coolest person ever. Not exaggerating when I say that during the 'Stick Season' album process, we would finish a song, and I'd listen back and be like 'Can you imagine Kacey on this?' Having her sing on 'She Calls Me Back' is incredible, and being able to have her continue telling the story adds a whole new dimension to the song and what it means. I'm so grateful and honored, continually humbled that artists of this level have lent their voice to this album. Kacey is cool as hell, brilliantly talented and represents everything I love about music. She is a true artist, and I can't thank her enough for being a part of this song."

It's nearly impossible not to read between the lines when listening to Kacey Musgraves' "star-crossed" album, as it's her first release after her divorce from Ruston Kelley. The good news, is that Musgraves doesn't sound angry and out for revenge on her ex. In other words, he doesn't go all Alanis Morissette with these 15 songs. Instead, to some extent, Musgraves sounds to be putting at least some of the blame on herself. One titled "Good Wife," finds ...
Sometimes it's not about what you play, but the way you play it, and with "A Very Kacey Christmas," Kacey Musgraves sacrifices a little surprise for a relatively pleasantly predictable holiday offering.
For instance, Musgraves' duet with Willie Nelson plays on (surprise surprise) the iconic singer's propensity to smoke weed when they wish the world "A Willie Nice Christmas." Although there are some sad country songs, like "Christmas Makes Me Cry" and ...
Kacey Musgraves is a welcome throwback in these bro and modern country times. That means you're going to hear sharp lyrics with more than a touch of humor, story songs and even instrumentation that recalls traditional country, like pedal steel, mandolin and a Johnny Cash drumbeat.
