Flashback to November 18th, 2016 when Miranda Lambert released The Weight Of These Wings.
When Miranda Lambert announced that she was going to release new album in 2016, little did people know that the results would be one of the most ambitious projects of her career. Already known for making some of the best albums in country music over that last ten years, The Weight Of These Wings–a 2 disc, 24 song double album–would be hailed as achievement not many artist could pull off, never mind attempt. While The Weight Of These Wings titled the complete project, each of the double albums had their own names…the first set of music is called The Nerve, and the second set is called The Heart. Miranda explains that with all that music she needed a title that would bring it all together…that unifying title was provided to her by her dad, “The Weight of These Wings was a line my dad said to me…He’s a songwriter, he’s not written a song in probably 9 years now…but he mentioned the line to me one time at a show and it just stuck with me. It just felt really big and some ways heavy and some ways light, you know, it sort of makes you think about a lot of things just that one sentence. And so, we tried to write the song a few times and nothing really came of it and it just sort of going through this record process felt like it would tie everything together, being 24 songs I needed a title that would sort of round out the edges I guess, and The Weight Of These Wings felt right.” Considered as one of the best country albums of 2016, The Weight Of These Wings won this year’s ACM Award for Album Of The Year. Fans have loved all the songs on The Weight Of These Wings–including Miranda’s hit singles “Vice,” “We Should Be Friends” and “Tin Man.” For more information on Miranda’s music, and tour, visit her website Miranda Lambert dot com, or just click HERE
