Lambert readies tour

Thursday, March 11, 2010 – Miranda Lambert embarks on her "Roadside Bars & Pink Guitars" headlining tour next week in West Virginia. The tour is slated to end in Texas in June. James Otto, David Nail, Randy Houser, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Eric Church, Jake Owen, Wade Bowen, Luke Bryan and Chris Young will open shows during the tour.

"I like pink guitars and puppies so how scary can I be?" joked Lambert. "Seriously, it's going to be a lot of fun. I've been on tour with some great male headliners so I thought it's only natural that I invite some talented guys on my first official headlining tour."

"We're excited to join Miranda for a few dates on her upcoming tour," said Cross Canadian Ragweed's guitarist Grady Cross. "It's been about five years since we've performed with her, and we're proud to be back. Miranda is a great entertainer and its guaranteed to be a good time."

"Miranda is one of the most talented singer/songwriters out there," says Chris Young. "I have always loved her music and her live shows, and I'm very excited about being on the road with her."

"I can't wait to get out on the road with Miranda," said Owen. "She and her band know how to rock, and our show is a perfect fit with that. Her fans are always ready to have a good time and we're ready to show them a party."

"Miranda has always been one of the most confident women I've been around. It seems she always has her head in the game and ready for the next step before she even knows what that might be," said fellow Texan Bowen. "Her music is original and unique without sticking herself under the radar and with every album release, I find myself anxious to see what she is going to do next. Not many artists have that effect on people anymore."

"Miranda and I both have a lot of respect for each other musically," said Church. "I consider her a badass and she considers me one. Put us both together and it should be unsafe at best. Everybody better rest up for this one cause we're gonna blow it up."

Lambert's newest single The House that Built Me, a song that showcases her softer, sentimental side, became the number 1 most added song this week at more than 100 country radio stations. Lambert is touring with 6 2010 ACM nominations under her belt, a newly celebrated Gold certification of both her first number 1 single, White Liar, and her third studio album, "Revolution.,"

CD reviews for Miranda Lambert

CD review - Platinum 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 ...
CD review - Revolution 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). Lambert vocalizes a bit like a little girl at ...
CD review - Crazy Ex-Girlfriend 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." Imagine for a moment if the then-19-year-old had actually taken the crown in 2003's Nashville Star and then been forced into the studio within weeks to be primped and ...
