There's no sophomore slump for Miranda Lambert, who follows her chart-topping debut, Kerosene, with a knockout punch. Both the title cut and the album-opening "Gunpowder & Lead" ("what little girls are made of") show that Lambert hasn't lost her edge or her appetite for revenge. Yet the quieter "Desperation," the more tuneful and tender "Love Letters," the wistful "More Like Her," and the primally intense "Down" show her emotional range and maturity. While her songwriting remains a strength, Lambert also displays superb taste in other people's material, with "Dry Town" (by Gillian Welch), "Getting Ready" (a new song from Patty Griffin), and "Easy from Now On" (with the lyric that provided the title to Emmylou Harris's classic Quarter Moon in a Ten-Cent Town) reinforcing the musical quality. There isn't a throwaway cut here. --Don McLeese

Customer Reviews

Great CD
I Love this cd at first i didn't want to listen to it but im glad i did it ot scrathced up thouh so i could only use for a few days!

Nicely avoided the common 'sophomore slump'
This is an amazing album! It all sounds good together and I believe most of the album was written or co-written by Miranda! Definitely worth the money.

Dang, this girl can saaayng!
I loved her from Nashville Star and now she is a star in her own right. She can write, she can sing, she can entertain. What an amazng talent. Can't believe Kerosene could be outdone, but this one is fabulous!!
