Same Trailer Different Park is the debut studio album by American country music artist Kacey Musgraves,{{cite news|last=Gallucci|first=Michael|title=Kacey Musgraves' Debut Album Coming in March|url=http://tasteofcountry.com/kacey-musgraves-album-release-date/|accessdate=March 13, 2013|newspaper=Taste of Country|date=January 30, 2013}} released on March 19, 2013, through Mercury Nashville.{{cite news|last=Betts|first=Stephen L.|title=Kacey Musgraves' 'Same Trailer Different Park' Release Date Revealed|url=http://www.theboot.com/2013/01/22/kacey-musgraves-same-trailer-different-park-release-date/|accessdate=March 13, 2013|newspaper=The Boot|date=January 22, 2013}} Musgraves co-wrote all 12 tracks and co-produced the album with Luke Laird and Shane McAnally. Met with widespread critical acclaim, the album won the Grammy Award for Best Country Album at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards.

Conception

Same Trailer Different Park draws on styles such as rockabilly, blues rock, country folk, and catchy country pop. Its songs are performed midtempo, and written from a Middle-American perspective, featuring stories of challenges and setbacks faced by men and women who struggle with their surroundings. "Follow Your Arrow" examines the small-minded perspective of small-town life. On "Merry Go 'Round", Musgraves sings over a shuffle beat and banjo about emotional, material, and addictive liabilities that prevent people from escaping restrictive lifestyles.{{cite web|last=Tucker|first=Ken|author-link=Ken Tucker|date=April 2, 2013|url=https://www.npr.org/2013/04/02/175369125/kacey-musgraves-countrys-blunt-and-poetic-new-voice|title=Kacey Musgraves: Country's Blunt And Poetic New Voice|publisher=NPR|accessdate=April 5, 2013}} Jonathan Bernstein of American Songwriter wrote that Musgraves's characters are "well-wishers and help-seekers, deadbeats trying to be better and do-gooders that are falling behind", and that she focuses on "small, pivotal moments, when they come to terms with their own faults and dreams, when they’re on the verge of a breakthrough or a meltdown."

At Metacritic, which assigns a rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has an average score of 89 out of 100, which indicates "universal acclaim" based on 12 reviews.{{cite web |url=http://www.metacritic.com/music/same-trailer-different-park/kacey-musgraves/ |title=Reviews for Same Trailer Different Park by Kacey Musgraves |website=Metacritic |publisher=CBS Interactive |accessdate=March 24, 2013}} Tammy Ragusa of Country Weekly called it "distinctive in both its arrangements and lyrics." AllMusic's Steve Leggett commended Musgraves' "flair for telling it like it is and making it sound like bedrock, obvious wisdom", and said that the album is "more than a collection of songs just aiming for the country charts."

MSN Music{{'}}s Robert Christgau called her "the finest lyricist to rise up out of conscious country since Miranda Lambert, if not Bobby Pinson himself." Jon Caramanica of The New York Times observed "a boatload of identifying details" in Musgraves' lyrics and called it an "acidic and beautiful" album that is indebted "at least a little bit to Ms. Lambert's durable template."{{cite news|last=Caramanica|first=Jon|author-link=Jon Caramanica|date=March 21, 2013|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/21/arts/music/new-albums-by-ashley-monroe-and-kacey-musgraves.html?_r=0|title=Country's Straight-Talk Feminists|newspaper=The New York Times|page=C1|accessdate=March 24, 2013}} Will Hermes, writing for NPR, said that her "wordplay feels effortless and conversational", and found Musgraves' "spirits of carpe diem and dysfunctional romance" to be "squarely" in the tradition of country music.{{cite web|last=Hermes|first=Will|author-link=Will Hermes|date=March 20, 2013|url=https://www.npr.org/2013/03/20/174837230/kacey-musgraves-a-millennial-musician-reframes-country|title=Kacey Musgraves: A Millennial Musician Reframes Country|publisher=NPR|accessdate=March 24, 2013}}

Grady Smith of Entertainment Weekly said that the album "continually showcases ... her writing prowess" because "Musgraves has a way of injecting humor into even her most melancholic musings." At Paste, Holly Gleason noted Musgraves "sings unvarnished truths" while maintaining "the sunniness that is the right of the young" that is done "With a voice that’s pretty, but brazen, Musgraves has no problem slinging attitude, crying bullshit or coyly advocating same-sex amour/dope-smoking while skewering hypocrisy." In addition, Gleason saw this album as "a manifesto that'll never come true," which she asked the question "is dignity enough to get by on?", and her response was that by a "thin margin, but one Musgraves walks straight into the sunset."

Jody Rosen of Rolling Stone felt that, although Musgraves lacks a powerful singing voice, the album "showcases a songwriting voice you won't hear anywhere else in pop: young, female, downwardly mobile, fiercely witty." David Burger of The Salt Lake Tribune vowed that the album "is not only intriguing vocally but engaging lyrically".{{cite web|url=http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/blogsburger/56006486-53/musgraves-hooked-mary-already.html.csp|title=CD Review: Kacey Musgraves' 'Same Trailer Different Park'|last=Burger|first=David|date=March 14, 2013|work=The Salt Lake Tribune|accessdate=March 24, 2013}} Taste of Country's Billy Dukes commented that the album "is well-written, edgy (yet familiar) and coated in 'cool.'"{{cite web|url=http://tasteofcountry.com/kacey-musgraves-same-trailer-different-park/|title=Kacey Musgraves, 'Same Trailer Different Park' – Album Review|last=Dukes|first=Billy|date=March 19, 2013|publisher=Taste of Country|accessdate=March 24, 2013}} Jerry Shriver of USA Today said the songs are "honest with themselves and don't wallow in self-pity", and that Musgraves' singing is "pretty and clear but usually unsentimental." In December, Rolling Stone ranked Same Trailer Different Park number 28 on its list of the 50 best albums of 2013. It won the Best Country Album award at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards in January 2014. On April 6, 2014, Same Trailer Different Park won Album of the Year at the 49th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards.
