Miranda Lambert - Postcards From Texas

Miranda Lambert - Postcards From Texas

from $14.99

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.”

Released 9/13 via Republic Records Postcards from Texas is available to order here on CD and Sea Blue colored vinyl LP.
