MIRANDA LAMBERT: Commentary on working on The Marfa Tapes (Audio)
Miranda Lambert: Jack Ingram and Jon Randall are both long time Texas boy friends of mine. I grew up watching Jack play the Honkey Tonks in Texas and following him around since I was 15 and I’ve known John for 20 years. We were on Sony together when we were both on radio tour so just have a long history of friendship and they are two of my favorite artists and writers, and so we sort of started this little trio of songwriting together and have been doing it for six years.
Miranda Lambert: Marfa is such a magical place. It just – the songs are in the air out there in the desert. And I can’t really explain it but we try to do our best to bring people to Marfa through this music, and it’s one of those places where you just go to disappear and you know writing with two people that you can really be your total self with you know it’s – it feels good that we all get to go out there and just celebrate each other and celebrate creating music.
