\n\tKacey Musgraves<\/a> is coming full circle with her new label deal, signing to the recently relaunched, Nashville-based Lost Highway Records. The eight-time Grammy winner was the final artist signed to the label in 2011. In 2012, Lost Highway was absorbed by Mercury Nashville as Musgraves was crafting her debut studio album Same Trailer, Different Park<\/em> (which contained her breakthrough hit \u201cMerry Go \u2018Round\u201d).<\/p>\n

\n\tNow, she is the first artist signed to the revitalized label.<\/p>\n

\n\tLost Highway\u2019s revival was announced earlier this month<\/a>, with former Thirty Tigers executive Robert Knotts<\/strong> and Universal Music Group Nashville (UMGN) executive Jake Gear <\/strong>serving as co-heads and executive vps of the resurrected label.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cLost Highway was always a musical stable for artists who might be considered outliers or outlaws; those who live on the fringe,\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>Musgraves said in a statement. \u201cIn 2011, when other record labels questioned my songwriting and my more traditional country sound, Lost Highway believed in me, signing me to my first label deal and helped me take my music around the world. That journey has now come full circle in such a special way with John Janick and Interscope and I\u2019m deeply honored to be able to once again call Lost Highway my musical home.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tMusgraves is celebrating the label deal with Lost Highway Records by releasing her interpretation of the label\u2019s namesake song, the Leon Payne-written \u201cLost Highway,\u201d which Hank Williams covered in 1949.<\/p>\n
