The Kacey Musgraves Christmas Show (album)

The Kacey Musgraves Christmas Show is a soundtrack album by American country singer Kacey Musgraves, released on November 28, 2019 by MCA Nashville. The album accompanies the Prime Video special of the same name, and is Musgraves' second Christmas album, following 2016's A Very Kacey Christmas.

Reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic said that the album "builds upon the retro charms of A Very Kacey Christmas, replicating its affectionately tongue-in-cheek blend of old-fashioned show biz corn and seasonal warmth". "Glittery" was praised as a highlight, with Ellen Johnson of Paste calling it "a new romantic holiday staple à la Ella Fitzgerald’s recording of "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm," or a much less problematic version of "Baby It's Cold Outside."

Track listing

All songs produced by Ben Winston, Emma Conway, Fulwell 73 Productions, Jason Owen, Kacey Musgraves, and Kyle Ryan.
