Oh I guess it’s been out a few months

She writes so well about divorce.

I know you need me to need you
I tried to teach you to be tough
There'd be no such thing as leaving
If just loving somebody was enough
Run along, little daddy
Take the dog and the house and dang me
It ain't worth the time that it's gonna take
To change me
It's as deep as the holler
And clear as the water that stains me
I want whatever it is
I ain't gettin' from you

Who’s brave enough to take it down?

;_;

yeah no

oh i personally don't care how corny it is, love u miranda

<3

the queer eye song is actually awesome & much better than "if i was a cowboy"

you can be born in tyler, texas
raised with the bible belt
if you're torn between the y's and x's
you ain't gotta play with the hand you're dealt

i should've known this would be far wittier than it needed to be/the show itself and anyone involved w/ it

she's such a good singer

yeah i love it

Totally agree.

glad j0rd is with me here

so did marfa tapes really not place in the ilm poll?

It was #44, I believe

Ah missed it somehow

Did we ever talk about the Marfa Tapes documentary that came out on one of the streaming services a few months back? It was OK. In some ways it made me like the album less* because it showed that everything was a lot more staged than it sounds. I had literally imagined these three people hanging around making songs together around a table or something, but the doc shows that every recording was set up for a unique shot.

*I still love this album

New Album ‘Palomino’ out April 29.
This record takes you on a journey through songs. I hope y’all are ready to travel with us wandering spirits and meet some cool characters with great stories.

"Strange" is out now. Preorder/presave/preadd the album here: https://t.co/J2QmJVikyN pic.twitter.com/yICm6J4Itm

YAS

song is excellent, production is perfect, cover art is horrible, i'm so ready

sorry my eyes finally got around to focusing on "(feat. the b-52's)" in that tracklisting

i missed that too! love the songs from marfa tapes she's taking on here

Fascinating: "Mama's Broken Heart" is Lambert's most streamed song on Spotify, followed by "Bluebird." The latter makes sense: her first single in a decade I heard on country radio.

Interesting and not a bad thing at all! Kacey Musgraves used to play Mama's Broken Heart live--not sure if that's helped its popularity--but I would have guessed "The House That Built Me" would be miles ahead of the rest.

The b-52's collab could be fun -- maybe a further push into 80s territory a la "Track Record"; though, "Smokin & Drinkin" aside, I generally think her collaborations tend to be the weaker album tracks.

A few of these songs are from The Marfa Tapes -- "Geraldine," "In His Arms," "Waxahachie." Two others ("Strange" and "If I Was a Cowboy") are out and solid. Really like the vibe of "Strange."

I read too far into this stuff sometimes but it's nice to see that songwriting partners/friends Randall, Luke Dick, and Lambert co-produced. Randall's songs on the Marfa Tapes were among the best, as were Dick's co-writes on Wildcard. Suggests this will have a looser, more country pop rock sound. Don't think she's ever been credited as a producer.

I don't think either new tune is so hot, but I am looking forward to hearing the new treatments of the Marfa songs.

she's firmly in the group of artists for me where i don't even care if the singles are good bcuz the albums always hit. i think "strange" is pretty great tho, song goes down really smooth and there's lots of cool texture to her voice throughout. lyrically it's not her most engaging but the last album had "it all comes out in the wash" as the big single so eh

She's often released disappointing first singles ("Dead Flowers ," "Automatic").

this is not one of them tho

it isn't, no

I'll take "Dead Flowers" and "Automatic" over "Baggage Claim" and "It All Comes Out in the Wash"

and to be fair "If I Was a Cowboy" was the lead single. Wouldn't be surprised if it's one of the weaker tracks on the album. Certainly the weakest song of the 5 we know.

yeah “dead flowers” and “automatic” are great

Random but in his interview with Rick Rubin Scarface said “house that built me” is one of his favorite songs

She nailed that performance. To think she's an even better singer now.

this lady i sso prolific

Oh shit Actin’ Up

^^^ so good

i love the Essex-ish “Rock On” vibe of the guitar

how is she such a badass HOW

cause I'm mmmmmm I'm acting up

Like how this marries classic western with country funk. Vibes.

The album's wonderful.

album is wonderful

the B-52's song probably ... *seemed* like a good idea at the time?

she sells/streams a lot of whatevers and wins a lot of awards and gets a lot of good reviews and yet i still think maybe she is under-appreciated

Surprised this song hasn't come up in the discussion (or maybe it did in the hidden messages). I fell in love with her for this one alone.

Tin Man

I'm getting awfully tired of Miranda Lambert releasing albums proving she's the best American pop musician and it's not even close.

Excited to hear this and catch up to you all! I would agree that she is still under-appreciated outside of country music where I think she's earned her stripes. Some critics (thanks, Alfred) have been waving her banner since the early 00s, but I don't feel that she's appreciated--or perhaps more accurately liked--by either the critical consensus or the popular masses anywhere near the level of say a Kacey Musgraves, let alone a Beyonce or Taylor Swift.

was she on that pitchfork best artist of the century so far list?

She's not even on this Friday's Pitchfork list of "8 albums you should listen to right now."

Will Hermes reviewed it over there.

goddamn i love this album
how is she the best?
