Four the Record


Four the Record, I have been a Miranda Lambert fan for many years now.  Before she was a contestant on Nashville Star, before she became mainstream, before masses of people followed her, BEFORE all that, I LOVED Miranda.  I'd like to believe that I was her first fan, after her parents of course!  I listened to her music when she was just beginning at 17 and playing at any Texas beer joint that would allow her to play. 

So...it is NO surprise that I have all her music.  I know every song by heart, my 3 year old knows some too!  I've seen her in concert at least 7 times and if given the opportunity to see her again - I would drop pretty much any plan I had to go. 

My love for Miranda's music is deep because I have a great respect for her.  She never changed who she was to fit into an industry, she has always just been herself, take it or leave it! 

Four the Record her 4th Albumn was released on November 1 and I immediatley bought it on itunes.  I was worried with each new albumn that I would be disappointed because I honestly didn't think that she could do better then her first album, on which she wrote 11 of 12 tracks.  I will say that all the albums are great in their own way and different then the one before.  I think that is just something that happens to every artist as they grow - they become more brave, becuase they have an established fan base.

The entire album is GREAT!  A few of my favorites are, Safe, Dear Diamond, Same Old You, Over You (which is a song her hubby, Blake Shelton, wrote but couldn't record as he was too close to the song and didn't think he could sing it every night in concert; it is a tribute to his older brother who was tragically killed in a car accident, it gives me chills!)  Better in the Long Run (LOVE...a duet with Miranda and Blake), I'd love it if they did a whole CD together!  Also Okahoma Sky is a beautiful song! 

GO BUY the CD.....Miranda rocks, Four the Record!
