The Kacey Musgraves Christmas Show, Kacey Musgraves (MCA Nashville)

And while I'm doing my country/not country mea culpas, Kacey Musgraves is someone I've kept my distance from on country grounds, but her 2019 Netflix special (and this soundtrack) hipped me to her crossover appeal, and reminded me that she doesn't get much love from country radio, or should I say bro-country radio. A lot of show-biz schmaltz, for sure, which always happens when TV's involved, but you need to hear her duet with Leon Bridges on "Present Without a Bow," and there's a fairly reasonable duet with Camilla Cabello on "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," and another one with Lana Del Rey on "I'll Be Home For Christmas." Plus there's one new number, "Glittery," duetted with Troye Sivan, a solid ballad whose steel guitar is the only country touch on it. A fair amount of this special was derived from Kacey's 2016 album A Very Kacey Christmas, which in retrospect has not got much country in it, so if you haven't heard that for yourself, consider this a Mistletunes tip.
