Miranda Lambert is one of the hottest American female country music artists. Gaining fame after becoming a finalist in Nashville Star, she soon signed to Epic Records. Her first album Kerosene going platinum, by her third album Revolution, Lambert was topping the charts with the sensational, Grammy and ACM winner, ‘The house that built me’ and ‘Heart like mine’. Recently married to the huge country star Blake Shelton, they have become country’s golden couple.
While still in high school Lambert made her professional singing debut with her band, along with fronting a house band at the Reo Palm Isle Ballroom. Lambert’s childhood provided her with rich material for her music, when she turned fifteen, her family opened their home to an abused woman and her daughter, a theme portrayed in plenty of her songs about the treatment of women. Also Miranda being from Texas regards the significance of guns in her songs as a measure of security and power linked to her past.
Miranda offers sentiment and heartfelt songs such as the house that built me, but has an entirely different side.
The other side of Miranda Lambert is a fiery, feisty woman, fearless and ready to fight. Her songs stand out from any other country style, with brash, direct and honest lyrics. ‘Somewhere Trouble Don’t Go’
‘Devil had a daughter Took him to deep water Tried to kill him with a kiss He said hey now honey What about the money I said I ain’t got time for this.’ Or the song. ‘time to get a gun’.
Lambert’s songs are abusive and hilarious, there’s nothing quite like Miranda Lambert. In ‘That’s the way the world goes round’ she writes, ‘Starts drinking heavy gets a big red nose And she beats her old man with her pantyhose’, epic songwriting and a must listen to…
