Kacey Musgraves released her latest album on Friday, featuring a touching tribute to her late friend John Prine. The album, titled Deeper Well, includes a song called 'Cardinal,' inspired by Prine, who passed away in April 2020 due to Covid-19 complications.
In a zine accompanying the album, Musgraves shared that the presence of cardinals after Prine's passing led to the creation of the song. Prine believed that cardinals were messengers from the spirit realm, influencing Musgraves' lyrics in 'Cardinal.'
