Miranda Lambert set for soph release
Lambert wrote or co-write 8 or the 11 songs on the new disc. Patty Griffin and Gillian Welch contributed songs as well. The closing song "Easy From Now On" was written by Carlene Carter and Susanna Clark and recorded by Emmylou Harris on her "Quarter Moon In A Ten Cent Town" album in 1978.
"You can take each song on this album and compare it to the first record, and you can see that it's an upgrade," said Lambert. "It shows two years of growth. I also let people in a lot a lot more than I did on the last record - so I'm a little scared, but I'm proud."
"Kerosene," released in 2005, debuted as the number 1 Country Record in the nation making the Texas singer/songwriter only the sixth country artist in the history of SoundScan to enter the country albums chart at number 1 on their very first release.
In two weeks, Lambert heads out with Toby Keith on the road.

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).

Even though it sounds like a cliche from the big book of country songwriting, the truth is that, when the timing's right, a loser can end up being the biggest winner of all. Today's object lesson comes from Miranda Lambert and her sophomore album, the follow-up to her 2005 near-platinum debut, "Kerosene."
