Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another episode of the Sunday Sit Down podcast. My thanks as always for clicking and listening along. I am very excited to bring you my conversation this week with seven-time Grammy winner Casey Musgraves. She is quite simply one of the best songwriters in the business right now.

She just won, by the way, her seventh Grammy a few weeks ago for her performance on the Zach Bryan song, I Remember Everything.

Casey and I got together at Electric Lady Studios in New York City down in Greenwich Village, just a few blocks away from Washington Square Park.

If you don't know, Electric Lady Studios was an apartment building way back when purchased by Jimmy Hendrix turned into a recording studio and has been the home and the recording place of everyone you've ever heard in music.

Anybody you can think of has recorded an album there. It still has kind of a 60s, 70s vibe

to it. And Casey and I, when you hear us having our conversation, we are sitting in the very

room where she wrote and recorded all of the songs on her new album Deeper Well.

A lot of fun to talk to.

Grew up in a tiny, tiny town in Texas called Golden and has risen up over the last decade

or so to become one of really the most respected, but also the best artists in all of music.

Kind of bucking convention in Nashville, as you'll hear.

Didn't step right in and do the typical country thing.

She had a little bit more to say with maybe a little bit of a harder edge than some of the record labels thought she should have.

But she is extraordinary.

She is one of a kind.

She's got a great story to tell.

And you're going to hear it right now with Casey Musgraves on the Sunday Sit Down podcast.

Thanks so much for doing this, Casey. Thank you. I'm so excited to be in the room where it happened, as they say. This is where deeper well was sort of conceived and written and performed, right, in this room?

Totally, yeah.

This is the studio that we kind of inhabited for the few months that we spent working on this.

And it was truly an amazing experience.

What does this place mean to an artist?
