Kacey Musgraves has signed to Nashville-based Lost Highway Records as the first artist penned by the relaunched label that was briefly home to artists such as Lucinda Williams and Johnny Cash in the 2000s, and most notable released the Oscar-winning soundtrack to O Brother, Where Art Thou?. She was actually also the final artist signed to Lost Highway back in 2011—the following year, Lost Highway was absorbed by Mercury Nashville while she was working on Same Trailer, Different Park.
“Lost Highway was always a musical stable for artists who might be considered outliers or outlaws; those who live on the fringe,” explained Musgraves. “In 2011, when other record labels questioned my songwriting and my more traditional country sound, Lost Highway believed in me, signing me to my first label deal and helped me take my music around the world. That journey has now come full circle in such a special way with John Janick and Interscope and I’m deeply honored to be able to once again call Lost Highway my musical home.”
In honor of the signing, Musgraves has also released a cover of Hank Williams’ “Lost Highway” to celebrate the news. Check out the cover below.
