There’s an interview with KACEY MUSGRAVES in the digital issue of “Glamour”. She admitted she’s feeling a little “freaked out” about trying to do a follow-up album as good as the Grammy-winning “Golden Hour”. “It can be freaky, because [that album] really resonated with a lot of people and reached far beyond what I ever thought it could do. “So there can be a worry inside your mind a little bit, as a creative person, thinking about the fact that there’s no way to bank on the muse coming and visiting you again.” The muse for a lot of “Golden Hour” happened while she was dating RUSTON KELLY. They’re married now so she’s using three new things to “coax” that muse. One is seeing live music, because that leaves her inspired. The second is riding her horse. The third thing is literature . . . but with a twist. She’s been having Ruston read aloud to her because, “as I’m absorbing the story, I can paint the pictures in my mind.” One of the books he read to her was John Steinbeck’s “East of Eden”.
