Miranda Lambert rocks Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium with “Revolution” concert
Country singer-songwriter Miranda Lambert began the promotional blitz for her new album “Revolution” last week in Nashville, Tenn., by kissing country legend Merle Haggard on the cheek and performing “Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Star” at the 2009 Academy of Country Music Honors Awards to celebrate him and his artistry.
She also sang “Anymore Love Songs” for yet another one of her heroes, Hank Williams Jr.
Lambert closed out last week with a few thousand friends on their feet at the famed Ryman Auditorium for her promised “Revolution” concert. The 25 year-old “loosened a few bricks” on Nashville’s Hallowed Hall, taking her audience on a musical journey of all 15 tracks of her new record in sequence plus her favorite classic country tunes and hits from her previous discs “Kerosene” and “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.”
“There’s no question that Lambert is one of the most alluring voices and imaginative songwriters in country music today,” writes Ed Morris for CMT.com. “…She was pure energy in knee-high boots–and a sheer joy to witness.” Read the full CMT review by clicking here.
The Tishomingo resident kept fanning the flames with live performances on today’s “Good Morning America.” She will perform tonight on “The Late Show with David Letterman.” She also will be on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” Thursday, ”The Ellen DeGeneres Show” Monday and “The Bonnie Hunt Show” Oct. 7. She’ll also appear on CNN, Fox News, Better TV, E! Entertainment News, Associated Press TV, Reuters and more.
Already gathering rare perfect reviews from the likes of Rolling Stone (4 Stars) and Entertainment Weekly (A), Lambert’s “Revolution,” the follow-up release to platinum-selling debut “Kerosene” and ACM Album of the Year for 2007 “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” is well on it’s way to the “rampage” Lambert had hoped for.
“I feel like this album is the next step of my career,” says Lambert in a news release. ” I’m not standing still. My first two albums were part of the same chapter in a way but ‘Revolution’ means transformation and uprising and that’s exactly what I feel happening within me and around me.”
Additional print coverage will find Lambert enjoying margarita’s with her mother, aiming her favorite weapons, posing in the latest “fall fashions”, and peering through the iron bars of prison. Country Weekly’s cover story (on stands this week), talks about Lambert’s defining moment that changed her life when she almost dropped out of school; Maxim (October issue) reveals that while she’s known to pack heat she also has an affinity for fuzzy dog slippers, First for Women (on stands this week) showcases the tenacity of a young girl who bounced back after facing some tough challenges, OK Magazine (on stands Thursday) features her “Fall Fashion Must Haves” and the next issue of People Country “All about Country Stars and their Families” will feature Miranda and her mom (on stands Oct. 9). US Weekly nabbed some quality time to talk music in the issue on stands now, and last month Details Magazine featured Miranda talking about everything from her rifle butt mike stand to her love of Bacardi.
On Oct. 2, the video to her fast-rising single “White Liar” premieres on CMT. Lambert finds her own wicked retribution for her broken heart, delivering an edgy, dark satisfaction to anyone who has ever had a taste for revenge.
“I like to think of myself as one of the outlaws” says Lambert while at a recent photo shoot at the famous and condemned Tennessee State Penitentiary but at the same time she says in the Washington Times: “I’m a pretty happy girl these days. I have a great career going, a good relationship and good people around me. So to write a love song, I don’t have to stretch too far.”
