Miranda Lambert Postcards from Texas Listening Party

Make plans to join us on Tuesday, September 10th at 4PM for a special early listening session for Miranda Lambert’s new album, Postcards from Texas! We’ll be spinning the record in the shop and sharing party favors with event attendees, plus we’ll have a giveaway for a grand prize (must be present to win; no purchase required.) And when you’re here for our listening party, make sure you check out our newest mural- featuring Miranda Lambert! (It’s being painted by Alexandria Hall, so you know it’s gonna be smoking! It should be finished up in a day or two!)

Postcards from Texas captures the country siren’s freewheeling, funny, at times feisty take on swing, shuffles, bluegrass and ballads with unbridled gusto. The 14-track album is self-produced by Lambert along with frequent collaborator and fellow Texan Jon Randall; she co-wrote 10 of the tracks, although the album-closer is reserved for a David Allen Coe classic, “Living on the Run,” from the country outlaw hero’s 1976 album “Longhaired Redneck.”

Co-writes on the album include “Alimony” which was co-penned by Lambert with two of country’s most in-demand songwriters, Shane McAnally and Natalie Hemby, as was another track with an obvious Texas theme, “Looking Back on Luckenbach.”

In a recent Variety interview Lambert said, “I made this record in Texas, and it meant the world to me,” she said I had not made a record in Texas since I was 18, my independent album. So I went there with Jon Randall, who’s my partner at Big Loud Texas [a label she has created to sign new artists] and my songwriting buddy and one of my best friends in the world, and he co-produced it with me. I just felt like finally, I’m home. I feel like that on the label; I feel like that recording it in Texas. And this music really reflects what made me the artist that I am. I feel like it’s pretty honky-tonk, which I’m very excited about. Lots of steel guitar on there.”

We’re pumped to listen to Postcards from Texas and look forward to hanging out with all of y’all in the record shop! Know you’re gonna need before you even hear it? You can go ahead preorder your copy of Postcards from Texas in the record store or on our site here.
