Miranda Lambert - Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

There's no sophomore slump for Miranda Lambert, who follows her chart-topping debut, Kerosene, with a knockout punch. Both the title cut and the album-opening "Gunpowder & Lead" ("what little girls are made of") show that Lambert hasn't lost her edge or her appetite for revenge. Yet the quieter "Desperation," the more tuneful and tender "Love Letters," the wistful "More Like Her," and the primally intense "Down" show her emotional range and maturity. While her songwriting remains a strength, Lambert also displays superb taste in other people's material, with "Dry Town" (by Gillian Welch), "Getting Ready" (a new song from Patty Griffin), and "Easy from Now On" (with the lyric that provided the title to Emmylou Harris's classic Quarter Moon in a Ten-Cent Town) reinforcing the musical quality. There isn't a throwaway cut here. --Don McLeese Amazon.com

 AWESOME CD!!!
I wish I could give this CD 10 stars. I love, love, love these songs!! Definitely a must have for any country fan. May 19, 2008

 Must Buy!
You hear so many new women artists in country music today, but I feel Miranda Lambert has it all. She has a voice that is both inviting and soulfull and her lyrics just draw the listener in. I am an even bigger fan now. May 18, 2008

 Maybe, But Not Yet
At 24 years old, Miranda's tracks sound like a 14-year-old's. Kasey Chambers she ain't. Might be able to give a good delivery on a recording when she's 34 years old...but not yet. May 10, 2008

 Album of the year!!
Of all the female country artists out there Miranda Lambert is the most under-rated of all of them and it's a cryin' shame because she blows everyone out of the water. While people like Carrie Underwood have sold millions of albums and have good to excellent voices Miranda has the whole package. Miranda not only has one of the best voices in country music she also possesses song writing skills that I haven't seen in years and her live shows are the most energetic and captivating I have ever seen. I would say Miranda's live shows are the best of any live act in any genre.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, the followup to her debut album Kerosene is a rockin' country album. From the rocking sound of the lead off track Gunpowder and Lead, a song that will sure make a guy think twice of messing with Miranda or else you might be at the wrong end of a shotgun to the soon to be classic Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, where she goes after her ex's new girlfriend to the country radio friendly Famous in a Small Town which chronicles growing up in a small town this album will have something for everyone.

Every song on this album is incredibly well written and enjoyable. While other artist have rose to the top overnight Ran will earn her fame the hard way, which in the long run will lead to a long, steady climb to the top where with the loyal fan base she will build will keep her on top for years to come.

I would have given this album a 10 of 10 if I could have. A song by song review would be pointless because every song would be given a 10 star rating. So I will just say order this album yourself and find out why she has so many positive reviews! April 6, 2008
