  Miranda Lambert tells the story of how she came to record her new single, “Little Red Wagon.” (:57)
“This artist we know named John Eddie told my tour manager one time that I should listen to this song called ‘Little Red Wagon,’ that I would love it. And he forgot to tell me. So, two years later, he’s like, ‘I forgot to tell you like two years ago to listen to this song, but I just heard it, and you should hear it.’ So I downloaded it, and I got obsessed with this artist, Audra Mae. I just couldn’t believe I’d never heard of her, and her whole record was amazing. She’s an amazing songwriter and singer, and I got hold of (laughs)…Deana Carter produced her record with that song on there, and so I got a hold of Matraca Berg to get Deana Carter’s number to get Audra Mae’s number. I really did my PI homework and finally got in touch with her, and we became friends and wrote a couple times together, and I mustered up the courage to ask her if I could cut the song, ‘Little Red Wagon,’ and she was like, ‘Sure!’ And I asked her if she’d sing on it, and she did, and it just felt like me, just felt like a song that I wish I’d have written, you know, and how fun it would be to do live.”
