![]() ![]() ![]() Then there’s Kacey Musgraves, whose Same Trailer, Different Park, came out in March. Accessible, too: “Go call your no-good brother/ We both know what he’s been growing,” she sings, her begrudging eye roll audible through the speakers. Over a springy electric guitar, Monroe-as-bored-housewife stages an intervention for her stagnant sex life: “Give me weed instead of roses/ Bring me whiskey instead of wine/ Every puff, every shot, you’re looking better all the time.” Here, pot is as safely risqué as the leather and lace underwear she dons and the sexy Polaroids she urges her fella to snap. It’s one of those records where every song feels like the best song until the next one comes on, but even then a track called “ Weed Instead of Roses” can’t help but stand out. If you were startled by the brazen weed-smoking on “Hush Hush,” then you probably haven’t heard Like a Rose, the second album by the Pistol Annies’ Ashley Monroe. So far, 2013 has seen three releases by still-rising stars that make mention of marijuana. But it’s not just big acts with cred to burn dropping the reefer references.
