Meet Kacey Musgraves...

Musgraves is a 24-year-old singer-songwriter from Golden, Texas. She placed seventh in the 2007 season of Nashville Star. 

AND her debut single "Merry Go Round" has landed on Rolling Stone's Best Songs of 2012 list. 

Rolling Stone calls the tune "a bleak-but-clever take on small-town inertia and ennui" and "gorgeous." And they call Musgraves country's "next big thing."
