ON THE COVER:
KACEY MUSGRAVES

Kacey Musgraves, whose Interscope/MCA Nashville set Deeper Well is the week’s biggest debut—and scores a #2 bow on our latest Top 50 chart—is hitting new peaks of both creativity and visibility. The Jason Owen-repped singer-songwriter is also featured on Zach Bryan’s huge hit “I Remember Everything” and has enjoyed some big mass-media looks of late. Though an appearance on this ragged publication’s cover is probably not the sort of Well she was hoping to fall into.
