Missing my family, figuring out what to do with a touring schedule and coming home and not seeing your friends. But there's also other aspects of songs on there that represent different other facets of life that inspire me too. She explains, "It's a collection of songs representing some beautiful, positive change in my life, with meeting the right person and getting married. Kacey may have been inspired by her surroundings at Sheryl Crow's studio, but her new songs are inspired by the things that she's experienced over the last year or two - she did recently get married, after all. On the Inspiration behind "Butterfly" & her Favorite Golden Hour Songs She adds, "I'm a huge horse lover, so getting to come to the studio early in the morning, and get to ride with Sheryl, and just kind of get super charged by nature and all these beautiful animals, and then going in to record at the studio was just an experience like I've never had before." I'm really thankful that I did because I'm really proud of this record." We really got to take our time and I got to take my time in just exploring lots of different avenues sonically and thematically. So, she was super gracious in letting us come in and set up a creative home there in her studio, which also happens to be an incredible horse stable and saloon, and it's just got the best vibes on the planet. "We made this record mostly out at Sheryl Crow's amazing studio that she has, and our goal was to really just get away from the rat race of the music row studio feel, which is fine on its own, but it's just not the most inspiring for us.

She explains, she wanted to get away from the "rat race of the music row studio feel" and that her surroundings at Sheryl's place, which also has a horse stable, had helped to spur musical creativity. To make this album even more special, Kacey recorded the music at Sheryl Crow's studio. It's also an actual song on the record, but it's just this warm, golden feeling that I'm really happy to have in my life and I found it to be a perfect title for this record." I love the picture that pops in my head when I hear that title. Not only am I from a town called Golden, Texas, but leading up to making this record, there's been a lot of beauty in my atmosphere and in my world, and I love the name. Kacey exclusively explains to iHeartRadio of the meaning behind the title of her new album, "The title Golden Hour just seemed to sum up this chapter of my life perfectly.

Kacey's new LP features 13 new songs, including singles "Space Cowboy" and "Butterflies," and was co-written and co-produced with Ian Fitchuk and Daniel Tashian. Golden Hour is Kacey's fourth full-length studio album and follows her 2016 holiday record A Very Kacey Christmas, as well as 2015's Pageant Material. But Golden Hour is also the name of country star Kacey Musgraves's brand new album. The Golden Hour is that gorgeous period of time right after the sun rises, or before the sun sets, when the sky is more red/orange - just golden.
