Lambert, Randall, Ingram plan film on "The Marfa Tapes"
Available to view for 24 hours via Lambert's official Facebook page, the film was directed by Spencer Peeples and features live performances set against the West Texas backdrop, interviews, and behind-the-scenes footage captured during the five-day album recording sessions in Marfa last November.
For more than five years, the desolate location has become a songwriting haven for the trio. The disc was recorded mainly outdoors with just a pair of microphones and an acoustic guitar.
"The Marfa Tapes" arrives May 7 via Vanner Records/RCA Nashville. Among the songs is a stripped down take on Lambert's hit "Tin. Man." The trio performed the latest sneak-peek track "Geraldene" on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Wednesday. They also recently performed the debut release "In His Arms" on the 56th ACM Awards.

But as great a storyteller Ingram is, he's even a better songwriter and "I Feel Like Drinking Tonight" ranks right up there with all those great Haggard drinking songs. ...
Cynics might think that Miranda Lambert is presumptuous in entitling her fifth disc "Platinum" and, in effect, assuming she'll get her plaque for selling 1 million units. But Lambert says that isn't the case, but more a matter of style, looks and feel.
Lambert also wrote and discovered a lot of excellent songs that fit her quite well in an album in which she exposes her inner self as she matures. That may never more apparent than in the country rocker Lambert wrote ...
Every once in a while an album comes along that restores your faith in mainstream country music. Miranda Lambert's "Revolution" is just such a recording. It's not revolutionary, as the title might suggest. Instead, this CD is chock full of topnotch songs that are both memorable and sincere and never sound slick or overproduced. (Come to think of it, such old school values as these may in fact be revolutionary around Nashville).
