Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

There's no sophomore slump for Miranda Lambert, who follows her chart-topping debut, Kerosene, with a knockout punch. Both the title cut and the album-opening "Gunpowder & Lead" ("what little girls are made of") show that Lambert hasn't lost her edge or her appetite for revenge. Yet the quieter "Desperation," the more tuneful and tender "Love Letters," the wistful "More Like Her," and the primally intense "Down" show her emotional range and maturity. While her songwriting remains a strength, Lambert also displays superb taste in other people's material, with "Dry Town" (by Gillian Welch), "Getting Ready" (a new song from Patty Griffin), and "Easy from Now On" (with the lyric that provided the title to Emmylou Harris's classic Quarter Moon in a Ten-Cent Town) reinforcing the musical quality. There isn't a throwaway cut here. --Don McLeese more

A must for country lovers

I was a little skeptical about buying this CD but I had liked Miranda's radio hits so I bought it. I was delighted to find that all of her songs were worth listening to repeatedly. I especially like Dry Town, Deperation, Down, and Famous in a Small Town (which was her first song I had ever...

Who Knew : Miranda Lambert is the Future of Country Music

Let it be said that Miranda Lambert is the best artist to emerge from a 'reality show' on any station in any musical format. That this "Nashville Star" graduate had a great voice is a moot point, but few could have predicted that she would make a timeless, classic album such as "Crazy...

I just hit repeat and listen again and again!

I was a skeptical buyer and I only bought this because it got album of the year and I am so glad I did... Miranda really kicked this one up after her debut album Kerosene. I love watching a good country gal come out and kick it with an album and she did just that. The album kicks off with my...

Great CD

I don't buy too many cd's anymore. With Ol' Waylon and Johnny Cash gone, there is nothing much out there on the Country radio waves that pleases my ears. I like something different. When I saw Miranda Lambert singing "Kerosene" on the Country Music Awards a couple of years ago, I said "Who is...

AWESOME!

Miranda Lambert is one of the few female country artists I really enjoy. I typically find myself enjoying the male voices of country music but she is truely great. I love this CD and I think anyone who loves country music will enjoy it too. She's a down-home country girl with a story to tell and...

.......what littl' girls are made of.........

Lambert's follow-up to her debut 'Kerosene' doesn't disappoint. You get the traditional country sound and humour of 'Dry Town' along with the traditional angry, jealous woman on the edgier, more modern-sounding title track. This heavier 'foot to the floor' treatment is also given to 'Gunpowder...
