Postcards from Texas

by Miranda Lambert

Overview

Moderation is the name of the game on the straightforward Postcards from Texas, Miranda Lambert's first album to be recorded entirely in her home state since her eponymous debut. (It's also her first for Big Loud and Republic Records after nearly two decades with Sony.) It's a back-porch-on-Sunday-type album in which even the more empowering, riled songs -- like "Bitch on the Sauce (Just Drunk)," "Wranglers," or honky tonker "Alimony" -- go down honey-smooth amidst lazing rhymes like armadillo and Amarillo, "Looking Back on Luckenbach," and turns of pun like "Remember the Alimo-ny." Co-produced by Lambert and Jon Randall, the return home involved a plethora of collaborators, including duet partner Parker McCollum ("Santa Fe"), backing vocalist Ashley Monroe ("January Heart"), and Lambert's husband, Brendan McLoughlin, who collected his first songwriting credit ("Dammit Randy"). The generous 14-song set closes on a representative cover of the David Allan Coe song "Living on the Run" in which Lambert "loved me a woman in Tennessee" (instead of "killed"). Her worst-charting solo album since her self-released debut as well, it was still a Billboard 200 Top 30 hit. ~ Marcy Donelson
