Lambert makes history

Monday, February 21, 2011 – Miranda Lambert kicked off The Revolution Continues tour this week by performing two sold-out shows at Billy Bob's Texas in Ft. Worth. Lambert is the first artist to ever sell out back-to-back shows in the history of the venue.

"We at Billy Bob's Texas couldn't be happier with Miranda Lambert. She was the only female artist to sell out our venue in 2010 and nearly 6,000 fans per night came out last Friday and Saturday to give us the first back-to-back sellouts in our 30-year history," said Robert Gallagher, Billy Bob's Entertainment Director.

Gallagher said both shows sold out in a record breaking 30 minutes this past December.

During Friday night's performance, Lambert emotionally dedicated The House That Built Me to her grandmother who had passed away less than a week before.

(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 ...
