Music Review: Kacey Musgraves - Pageant Material

The country upstart’s refreshing candor has already won her a Grammy. Musgraves doesn’t sugar-coat the songs on her delightfully frisky second studio, singing about the value of minding your own business on the playful “Biscuits” and accepting kinfolk who “might smoke like chimneys, but give you their kidneys” on the charming “Family is Family.”

Music Review: Ian Tyson - Carnero Vaquero

The heart of the Canadian songwriting legend, who gave us classics like “Four Strong Winds” and “Navajo Rug,” lies in the West and its big-sky vistas. Here, he sings of cowboys (“Will James”), ranching (“Colorado Horses”) and tragic romance with his new rendition of the touching “Darcy Farrow,” originally recorded in his Ian & Sylvia days.

James Taylor - Before This World

The 17th album from Sweet Baby James—and his first collection of new songs in 13 years—is a beauty, full of charming love songs (“You and I Again”), an ode to Toronto (“Snowtime”) and his obsession with baseball’s Boston Red Sox (“Angels of Fenway”) and a gorgeous version of the folk classic “Wild Mountain Thyme.”
