GKW: Listening to your music, I definitely feel you’re taking a different
path than other female country
singers, a path I haven’t heard from
others in years.
KM: I'm a songwriter and I just write
about the things than inspire me,
which is a very wide variety of things.
People want to talk about parts of my
songs like they're wild ideas, but really I'm just being a songwriter.
GKW: Throughout my time interviewing country musicians, I’ve always
been fascinated at how varied their
musical tastes are. Who’s catching
your ear these days?
KM: I love Alison Krauss, Mindy
Smith, John Prine, Miguel, Bruno
Mars, a lot of old country, Weezer,
CAKE, Ryan Adams, Brandy Clark —
it's all over the map.

GKW: What’s the future hold for
you? How are handling the attention and award nominations?
KM: People ask me all the time
about the future and where I
want to be. All I can say is that I
want to be happy and continue
being a songwriter. I'm learning
how to be present and thankful
in this current moment and
that's really all I can do.
