pretty beautiful, this new song. intrigued about the album.
i never got around to giving wildcard a spin but i def should. honestly, might as well revisit the weight of these wings lol

Announcing The Marfa TapesA project by Jack Ingram, Jon Randall and me. Recorded in Marfa, TX. They’re raw. You can hear the wind blowing, the cows mooing... We wanted you to feel like you were right there with us, sitting around the campfire, escaping the world, disappearing into the music. The first song “In His Arms” is out now. Full album arrives May 7th.

Looks like the Marfa Tapes is digital/vinyl only so far, which surprises me a little.

Is he playing in some house band in Dallas?Is he breaking horses in San Anton?Is he all alone in the neon light?I wish I was in his arms tonight
Is he praying for rain out in West Texas?Is he lost in the Marfa lights?Is he out there looking for meWishing I was in his arms tonight
perfect lyrics

and more importantly they wrote “tequila does”

“in his arms” is exactly the kind of simplicity that i think is really hard to get right & she just fkn nails it like it came to her all in a dream or somethingshe does it a lot & it never stops being impressive<3 miranda! so much!

“Homegrown Tomatoes” off the Marfa album is the funniest thing, I love it so much whole album is an excellent mood, really feels like you are sitting right next to them

yesss
― So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 8 May 2021 02:15 (three years ago) link
I wondered if Homegrown Tomatoes was going to be a cover of Guy Clark's tune but instead it's just a fun reference to him in the chorus.

FYI, they're live streaming the Marfa Tapes film on Facebook rn. It will be available for 24 hours.

very nice rainy day album

VegemiteGrrl spot on. This feels really special. Listened to it a bunch this weekend and caught most of the film. The lead singles were nice, but you put this on and it's a whole vibe. Intimate and awfully rough around the edges, but also somehow manages to sound like more than a demos or an acoustics collection. I love the mix of traditional and contemporary country tunes, and the track order/pacing is superb.

I was wary of falling in love with the idea of the album, but I think it really stands up as a nice collection of songs. With its own outtakes included. “In His Arms” is on my song of the year list.

i didnt realize how badly i want to get messy drunk around a campfire til i listened to this album like ten times over the weekend

Homegrown tomatoes crosses over to cheesiness in a way that Guy Clark does for me as well. enjoying the album though
― Heez, Tuesday, 11 May 2021 13:12 (three years ago) link
the "Semi-Charmed Life" hook tho

I sing the chorus of “I don’t like it” in my head about a dozen times day

Yeah, it's remarkable... I can't think of another album with this particular feel (although I'm sure they're out there).

"She's a little instigator" is a great line.
Miranda sounds a little embarrassed (for good reason) when one of the guys shouts "Ándale!" when she finishes singing "Tequila Does."

Lambert is quietly putting together one of the all-time great singer/songwriter careers

she's already the best working singer-songwriter
― So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 20 May 2021 19:51 (two years ago) link
she's inarguably top five or so

i never knew much of her backstory except that she was on Nashville StarMiranda was on the new episode of that Dave Grohl show on Paramount Plus “Cradle to the Stage” with her parents & her parents are something else! throwing in with her completely, her Dad taught her to play guitar, toured with her for her first 4 years, her Mom was her first manager … and they were private investigators, not like they were raking in huge cash to start with… it was pretty amazing to see all the hard work they all collectively put into her career (her included).. just laid out like that. Really moving.

oh yeah, her parents are characters. Worked for Paula Jones's lawyers. Lots of weird and fun anecdotes in this article:

"Anchor" is such a great song. Does anyone know which of those two dudes (Ingram or Randall) is the singer (and presumably "main" songwriter)?
― r u rolling pop 2021 (morrisp), Thursday, 8 July 2021 19:51 (two years ago) link
pretty sure it’s Ingram, if i recall correctly from the video
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 8 July 2021 20:27 (two years ago) link
Thanks, I'll check out some of his other stuff...
On August 26, 2009, Ingram set a Guinness record for the most radio interviews in one day, when he was interviewed 215 times.

there are 1440 minutes in a day
without sleeping, eating, or using the bathroom, every interview would have to last no more than 6 and a half minutes, not taking into account interview changeovers
calling bullshit on this bit of trivia
― Paul Ponzi, Saturday, 10 July 2021 11:31 (two years ago) link
is there a reason not to allow for even shorter spots? like just a couple of minutes? since it’s radio there could be a lot of quick hits imo
