“Ugly Lights” (Miranda Lambert/Natalie Hemby/Liz Rose)
#Miranda lambert vice pro
Written by Natalie Hemby, Shane McAnally and Luke Dick, who co-wrote Eric Church’s “Kill a Word,” “Highway Vagabond” is equal parts country-funk road song and hillbilly nursery rhyme, delivered by a touring pro who’s seen her share of mile markers.ģ. “Highway Vagabond” (Luke Dick/Natalie Hemby/Shane McAnally)
The result is a pure, pointed look at heartbreak and reconstruction, delivered by a writer who’s at the top of her game and a band that’s encouraged to get weird.Ģ. Lambert isn’t chasing success here she’s chasing the muse. With her byline on 20 songs, Lambert more than sextuples the amount of original material on her release, and her outside song choices (including a pair of under-the-radar covers by Danny O’Keefe and Shake Russell) help complete an album whose uncompressed guitar tones, daredevil drums – courtesy of original Pearl Jam member Matt Chamberlain – and left-of-center arrangements ignore the trends of Top 40 country radio. Shelton rush-released his own tribute to Splitsville, If I’m Honest, in May, billing the record, whose songs were mostly written by outsiders, as an honest look at his personal life. One year after a very public divorce from Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert gets the last word with The Weight of These Wings, a double-disc magnum opus that tackles breakups, booze, friendships, fetishes, old scars and new beginnings over the course of 24 songs.
Some breakups are so contentious, even artists confident enough to title their previous album Platinum can’t make it through them untarnished.
