Looking for some great new music for your next road trip?  A few weeks ago I recommended the new James Hunter album, Minute by Minute--which is still on heavy rotation in my house.  

My other favorite new album for summer is a debut by the immensely talented country singer Kasey Musgraves.  She can sing, she can play guitar and harmonica, and man can she write.  

Musgraves is a a great storyteller with a razor sharp wit and a gift for precise imagery and detail.  Her best songs are funny, sad, sweet, and satirical--and theyre easy to sing along to.

 Ive heard her compared to Miranda Lambert several times but that doesnt tell the whole story--because Lambert doesnt tell such great stories.  She definitely has that Lambert bad-girl edge and image but she also has a bit more poetry and soul in her dusty narratives--think Lucinda Williams and Car Wheels on a Gravel Road.

But more importantly, Musgraves may have written the greatest RV song ever.  One of the best songs on the album is called "My House" which really should lead off your summer road mix.  Its not even June yet but Im declaring this instant classic as our family song for the summer.  Im also declaring Kasey Musgraves as the new poet laureate of the RV Tribe because of lyrics like this one:
