Miranda Lambert: on her upcoming Wildcard Tour (Audio)
I am excited because this whole tour was all females and the next tour is all guys. Gotta keep it interesting. I am taking fellow Texan, Cody Johnson. He is just country and I love country music, like stone cold country. And then LANCO I saw at a festival in Canada last summer. And I watched their show, it was in the afternoon and it was just so energetic. And the crowd is so excited and they are like cool and young; and have these hip vibes. And I love that, I want to be inspired every night. I watch every one of my openers almost every night and I want to have to go out there and bring my A game. And then on select dates we have two other Texans, Randy Rodgers and Parker McCollum. I guess I was feeling a little bit nostalgic and I might attribute that to one thing which is the song, Tequilas Does because it’s kind of got me reminiscing about where I started. When I sing it every night, it puts me right back on the stage at Green Hall. Which I love that emotion, so I think I got a little nostalgic so I’ve got all these Texans on the road with me.

In short: It rocks.” – Entertainment Weekly “Rife with the honest, introspective and relatable lyrics for which Lambert is known” – Tennessean “She specializes in the kind of country music that doesn’t fade in the background, thanks to her meaty songwriting, her ear for the genre’s most interesting sounds — and of course, her clear, penetrating, impossible-to-replicate voice.” – Billboard “…while her writing still explores the dark corners of heartbreak and hangovers, she approaches those topics with bright, self-effacing humor and countrified cheek.” – Rolling Stone “She’s been a consistent ray of light — a huge star who writes and sings tough and funny and thoughtful songs.” – Stereogum “The queen of modern country” – Uproxx “With the new project, Lambert relishes in showcasing a fuller range of her abilities, moving effortlessly from the swampy ‘White Trash,’ the uplifting country zinger ‘It All Comes Out In The Wash,’ the Texas-born strains of ‘Tequila Does,’ to the transparent portrayal of a hardcore romantic with a checkered past on the breezy ‘Track Record.’” – MusicRow “the superstar singer balances unwavering honesty with her sweet soul and keen observations about the world surrounding her” – Sounds Like Nashville Lambert’s first collaboration with producer Jay Joyce, Wildcard features Top 15 lead single “It All Comes Out in the Wash,” as well as “foot-stompin’ barnburner” (NPR) “Locomotive,” “crunchy, frisky jam” (Stereogum) “Mess with My Head,” “irresistibly catchy” (SPIN) “Bluebird,” “fun-loving” (NASH Country Daily) “Pretty Bitchin’,” “just plain good” (Taste of Country) “Tequila Does,” and “instant honky-tonk jukebox classic” (Billboard ) “Way Too Pretty for Prison,” which features Maren Morris.
