New releases: Miranda Lambert follows up “Revolution” with “Four the Record,” Mike McClure drops “Fifty Billion” on iTunes

Country music superstar Miranda Lambert, who lives in Tishomingo, is celebrating the hotly anticipated release of her fourth solo album, “Four the Record.”

The follow-up to her widely acclaimed 2009 effort “Revolution,” “Four the Record” already features a top five hit with the sassy first single “Baggage Claim.” But the new album features 14 musically diverse, finely crafted tracks – Lambert wrote or co-wrote six of them – so expect the Oklahoma transplant to get even bigger with “Four the Record.”

Look for my review of “Four the Record” Friday here on BAM’s Blog, on NewsOK or in The Oklahoman’s Weekend Look section.

Also, Ada-based red dirt musician Mike McClure, frontman of the recently reunited The Great Divide, released today his new album “Fifty Billion.” The album is available via iTunes courtesy his 598 Recordings.
