Summary: Maybe, But Not Yet
Comment: At 24 years old, Miranda's tracks sound like a 14-year-old's. Kasey Chambers she ain't. Might be able to give a good delivery on a recording when she's 34 years old...but not yet.

Summary: Album of the year!!
Comment: Of all the female country artists out there Miranda Lambert is the most under-rated of all of them and it's a cryin' shame because she blows everyone out of the water. While people like Carrie Underwood have sold millions of albums and have good to excellent voices Miranda has the whole package. Miranda not only has one of the best voices in country music she also possesses song writing skills that I haven't seen in years and her live shows are the most energetic and captivating I have ever seen. I would say Miranda's live shows are the best of any live act in any genre.
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, the followup to her debut album Kerosene is a rockin' country album. From the rocking sound of the lead off track Gunpowder and Lead, a song that will sure make a guy think twice of messing with Miranda or else you might be at the wrong end of a shotgun to the soon to be classic Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, where she goes after her ex's new girlfriend to the country radio friendly Famous in a Small Town which chronicles growing up in a small town this album will have something for everyone.
Every song on this album is incredibly well written and enjoyable. While other artist have rose to the top overnight Ran will earn her fame the hard way, which in the long run will lead to a long, steady climb to the top where with the loyal fan base she will build will keep her on top for years to come.
I would have given this album a 10 of 10 if I could have. A song by song review would be pointless because every song would be given a 10 star rating. So I will just say order this album yourself and find out why she has so many positive reviews!

Summary: Rocking country
Comment: This album is upbeat and fun, great rock n' roll country from a talented artist. One of Rolling Stones best albums of '07!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
Comment: Definitely don't relate to the lyrics, but they're fun and real. This is the first album that I've bought from Miranda Lambert and it's really good. Some of her songs caught me at first listen and others that took getting used too, but in general her music is great.

Summary: Tough Texas Country Album from a Tough & Talented Texan
Comment: WOW. I haven't been this proud that a country singer is a native Texan in a very long while. After listening to this album, my first thought was, now THIS is Texas Country. For those who don't know how that differs from "regular" country, a short description is country music rooted in "Outlaw Country" movement (Willie & Waylon), & is a fusion of "Outlaw" & "Traditional" country (which is music you can waltz, two-step, polka, or shuffle to). These artists are generally straight-shootin', hard drinkin' fiercely proud Texans who won't take sh&@ from anyone. God Bless Texas!
I can understand the comparison's to Dolly in earlier reviews in terms of talent (singing/song writing ability), but would absolutely describe her sound as a cross b/n the Dixie Chicks & Gretchen Wilson, & believe she'll go farther than either of them.
My favorites from this album (& how you might dance to 'em) are: "Gunpowder & Lead" (a song you can just rock-out to); "Love Letters" (a beautiful waltz); "Famous in a Small Town" (a good two-stepping song); "Dry Town" (a polka); "Desperation" (also a 2-step); & "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" (from which comes one of the greatest lines I've ever heard & perfectly describes her mind-set in the song: "Didn't give a second thought to being thrown in jail, 'cause baby, to a hammer, everything looked like a nail!...I was mad as hell.")
I only hope her star continues to rise as she gets more nation-wide exposure and is recognized for her incredible singing AND songwriting abilities. This girl is AMAZING-as is this album, y'all have gotta buy it. It's RAN-TASTIC! ;) (Couldn't help myself)

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
