BILL ANALYSIS Senate Research Center S.C.R. 22 By: Hughes Committee To Be Determined | Never Referred 6/21/2019 Enrolled AUTHOR'S / SPONSOR'S STATEMENT OF INTENT Texan Kacey Musgraves won four trophies at the 2019 Grammy Awards, including the most prestigious, Album of the Year, for Golden Hour. A native of Golden, Texas, Ms. Musgraves also took home the award for Best Country Album, and she received Best Country Song for "Space Cowboy" and best country solo performance for "Butterflies." Golden Hour, which blends country instrumentation and electronic elements, has received wide critical acclaim, and it was previously named Album of the Year by the Country Music Association. Ms. Musgraves began playing mandolin and writing songs in elementary school, and during adolescence, she released a number of albums on independent labels. After high school, she worked on her craft in Austin and appeared on the television competition Nashville Star before signing with Mercury Nashville in 2012. With her first major-label album, Same Trailer Different Park, Ms. Musgraves debuted at No. 2 on Billboard's "Top 200" chart, and she scored three hit singles. She continued to gain fans with her follow-up album, Pageant Material, and she offered her listeners a holiday treat in 2016 with the retro sounds of A Very Kacey Christmas. Kacey Musgraves has brought joy to innumerable people through her music, and she may take justifiable pride in the national recognition she has garnered. RESOLVED That the 86th Legislature of the State of Texas congratulate Kacey Musgraves on her receipt of four 2019 Grammy Awards and extend to her sincere best wishes for continued success. That an official copy of this resolution be prepared for Ms. Musgraves as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives and Senate. SRC-ARR S.C.R. 22 86(R) Page 1 of 1 .

Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

The first: this issue has a number of firsts for QROCC. In the third issue we had our first guest reviews, all from Cory Stephens; in this, we have another from our friend Cory, and a handful of new con- tributors. An opus on Christmas music theory from Grant Leuning opens the November section, alongside reviews elsewhere from Allyson Bace and Alex Pieschel. Speaking of whom: we also have our first dual review, with both Allyson Bace and Alex Pieschel taking a look at Conor Oberst’s and coming to slightly different conclusions. In addition to contributors, QROCC has our first interview. Leading up to this issue, I was contacted by Rjyan Kidwell about his new record . Rjyan, aka Cex aka Pubic Medusa of Worms, chopped and screwed some popular country tracks in a way that I think works really well. We talked about his history with music, his relationship with country music, and what kind of things he’d recognize to fans of country music. Not that country fans are the audience here (there isn’t an audience). Rjyan’s answers are very interesting and I really appreciate his taking the time to answer the questions.

Kacey Musgraves: Inspired by Small-Town Roots
Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum • Words & Music • Grades 3–6 Kacey Musgraves: Inspired by Small-town Roots By the time she started taking guitar lessons at age twelve, Kacey Musgraves had already spent four years singing at public events. But her guitar teacher challenged Musgraves to do more than play and sing. “He saw that I dabbled in writing a bit and really pushed me to work on that,” Musgraves said. “My assignment was to go home and try to write a song. I fell in love with it.” Born on August 21, 1988, in the east Texas town of Sulphur Springs, Musgraves grew up in nearby Golden, a town with fewer than two hundred residents. At age eight, she learned to yodel, dressed up in cowgirl outﬁts, and began performing classic country songs at small amateur shows in the area. Her guitar teacher John DeFoore – who also taught Miranda Lambert, another country star from east Texas – pushed Musgraves to discover her own country music identity. “When I ﬁrst started writing my own songs, they were pretty bad,” she said. “I hadn’t found my own voice yet. [But] I learned not to be scared to just throw an idea out there.” At age eighteen, she moved to Austin, Texas, to work on a singing career, and earned a spot on the television singing competition Nashville Star, placing seventh. In 2008, she moved witty lyrics inspired by growing up in a small town. The album won to Nashville, where she decided to focus on songwriting, and was two Grammys.

DECEMBER 2014 Newsletter ------------------------------------------------------------------- Yesterday & Today Records P O Box 54 Miranda NSW 2228 phone: (02) 95311710 [email protected] www.yesterdayandtoday.com.au ------------------------------------------------------------------- Pretty late for a newsletter but it doesn’t matter. I have found that no one really buys from me for Christmas anyway; they buy for their self gratification and to be honest there is NO better reason. Secondly I was fortunate enough to go to the USA on a buying trip spending a bit of time in both Los Angeles and Music City, Nashville. The results as far as buys go are reflected in the newsletter. As far as quality goes there has never been a newsletter to rival this one. Don’t take my word though...check it out. In Nashville I was fortunate to see the Timejumpers and also (for the first time) the Grand Ol Opry which had commenced its winter Ryman Auditorium run. Highlight of the latter was Old Crow Medicine Show. They don’t really do anything new but have borrowed well and are just so entertaining. Vince Gill is now a full time member of the Timejumpers but they are equal opportunity employers, so to speak and Vince is an equal member. Ameripolitan Music Awards Country music, the Nashville mainstream variety, has departed so far from “country” music that some are starting to call “country music” as we know it (not as Nashville promotes it) something else. Well, the great man Dale Watson is anyway. For the past couple of years he has been promoting the Annual Ameripolitan Music Awards.

Kacey Musgraves: Inspired by Small-Town Roots
Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum • Words & Music • Grades 7–12 Kacey Musgraves: Inspired by Small-town Roots By the time she started taking guitar lessons at age twelve, Kacey Musgraves had already been singing in public for four years.

I fell in love with it.” Now an award-winning recording artist, Musgraves has made her mark in country music as much with her writing as with her singing. Her wit and love of clever wordplay have endeared her to fans as well as songwriting greats such as John Prine and Country Music Hall of Fame member Loretta Lynn, two of Musgraves’s musical heroes. Born on August 21, 1988, in the east Texas town of Sulphur Springs, Musgraves grew up in nearby Golden, a town with fewer than two hundred residents. At age eight, she learned to yodel, dressed up in fringed cowgirl outﬁts, and began performing classic country songs at amateur shows around the area. Her guitar teacher John DeFoore—who also taught Miranda Lambert, another country star from east Texas—set Musgraves on a journey to discover her own country music identity. “When I ﬁrst started writing my own songs, they were pretty bad,” she said. “I hadn’t found my own voice yet.
