Transcript Miranda Lambert

Country Music with a little edge….



Miranda Leigh Lambert was born on
November 10, 1983 in Longview, Texas and
raised in Lindale, Texas a small town about 80
miles east of Dallas.
Her father was a country guitarist (Rick
Lambert) and a detective agency owner. Her
mother (Beverly June Lambert) worked
alongside her father when he became the
owner of the agency.
Miranda was raised in a house dedicated to
country music.



At age sixteen, Miranda began entering
country talent contests, one of those including
Johnny High Country Music Review in
Arlington, Texas.
After that experience Miranda went back home
to ask her father to teach her how to play the
guitar, so she could begin to write her own
songs.
She started a band called Texas Pride at the age
of seventeen while she was in high school.


In 2001, she received a lot of support and
financial help from her family to help promote
her first recording, an independent self-titled
CD.
Two years later in 2003, Miranda gained fame
on the season of ‘Nashville Star’ where she
finished third place and was later signed to
Epic Records.



Kerosene was Miranda’s first album
The album reached number one on the
Billboard Top Country Albums, which gained
a Platinum certification for shipments of over
one million copies.
The album sold more than 930,000 up to July of
2008.



Miranda’s second album Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
was released on May 9, 2007
The success established her as one of country’s
bad girls.
Her song ‘Gunpowder and Lead’ was her
highest charting single



Crazy Ex-Girlfriend won an ACM award for
Album of the Year in 2008
In September it was announced that Miranda
led the nominations with 9 CMA awards
On February 13, 2011 Miranda won a Grammy
Award in the Best Female Country Vocal
Performance category for “The House That
Built Me.”


Revolution is her most recent album, released
on September 29, 2009.
Rolling Stone magazine has praised Revolution
saying “Lambert remains country’s most
refreshing act, and not just because she makes
firearms seem like a matter-of-fact female
accessory.”



Miranda has had great success with her music
career and her songs that she has written or cowritten seem to have gone far in popularity.
She is well known in the country music era,
and I believe she will continue to grow as a
music artist and surprise us with more of her
feisty ways.
I am excited to see what she will come up with
next!




The song has very
touching meaning
behind it.
"It was so many mixed
emotions during that
time because we
actually lost everything
we owned. We actually
lost a house that we
built with our own
hands."
“The House That Built
Me” is a song which I
believe most would like
to experience, if they
had a good childhood.

“Famous in a Small Town” is a
song that describes what life is
in a small town.
It is just as she says in the song
“everybody dies famous in a
small town.”
Nothing seems to be a secret in
a small town, everybody knows
everybody and everything
about each other

Heart Like
Mine: 3
minutes




The song is written by Travis
Howard, Ashley Monroe and cowritten by Miranda Lambert;
produced by Frank Liddell and
Mike Wrucke.
The song debuted at number 58 on
the U.S. Billboard Hot Country
Songs chart for the week of

“Heart Like Mine” best describes
the kind of girl that you may look
at her background and judge her
for who she is, but she knows that
Jesus would understand her
background and who she has
become today from everything.
She may not be the best girl, she
isn’t innocent, may be a little wild,
but in the end she has a good
heart.
