Miranda Lambert shared her latest album, Postcards from Texas, on Friday (Sept. 13). With an emphasis on the wide-ranging musical palette of Texas itself, Lambert and co-producer Jon Randall sought to create a mix of ‘70s country, slow-burning swagger, grassy pluck, hilarious shuffle and classic songwriter fare that also features a take on David Allen Coe’s “Living On The Run.”

“Usually when you make a record, it’s a snapshot of the past two or three years and where you are in that moment,” the artist reflects. “Postcards from Texas instead draws on all the different stages of my life and my career, all the influences that have ever inspired me, and gives you a really full picture of who I am.”
