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 don't buy too many cd's anymore. With Ol' Waylon and Johnny Cash gone, there is nothing much out there on the Country radio waves that pleases my ears. I like something different. When I saw Miranda Lambert singing "Kerosene" on the Country Music Awards a couple of years ago, I said "Who is that?" That is sure different. I bought that cd & was very impressed. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is just as good if not better. I'm not saying that Miranda Lambert will be other Waylon or Johnny Cash, but you could say she takes one step over the line. Singing and writing songs like "Kerosene", "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" and "Gunpowder & Lead" reminds me a little of Johnny Cash's "Delia's Gone". CMT wouldn't air that video because of the contents. Shame on them! Johnny got them back. Emmy's right & left! That's another thing that I like about Miranda, she writes most of her own songs. Buy the album, you won't be sorry.

AWESOME!
Miranda Lambert is one of the few female country artists I really enjoy. I typically find myself enjoying the male voices of country music but she is truely great. I love this CD and I think anyone who loves country music will enjoy it too. She's a down-home country girl with a story to tell and a great voice to tell it with!

I LOVE THIS CD
every song on this cd is great! my favorties are gunpowder and lead and crazy ex girlfriend! love this cd! YOU SHOULD GET IT!
