When Kacey Musgraves decided to record a Christmas album, she wanted to step outside what fans might typically expect. The singer-songwriter tapped into a vast array of musical styles and influences to create A Very Kacey Christmas. While there are some Kacey originals on the project, the majority of the material is a mix of holiday standards we all know and love arranged with a sonic twist that catches your ear. Kacey was heavily inspired by the retro sounds of Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters along with a splash of Hawaiian and Spanish influences. It all makes for a very unique holiday experience that is pure Kacey Musgraves.
Earlier in the fall, Kacey stopped by to talk about creating the album. Kacey and Kix discussed the melancholy nature of the holiday season, family traditions, and more. Watch it all go down in this episode of Kix TV:
