Forget Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, or Kellie Pickler. They are mere pretenders. Instead, choose Miranda Lambert as a much stronger female force in country or Americana music. But a word to the wise - don't cross her. With songs like White Liar, Kerosene, and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, she's likely to get downright ornery if she gets scorned.
Earlier this year, I heard an interview with her on a Jacksonville, FL radio station. She had a great quip about how she writes songs. To paraphrase, she said "Lyin', cheatin', drinkin' & the Lord. That's what country music is all about." Pretty hard to disagree with that generalization.
Plus, you automatically trump all other peers when you've got a bass player in your band with a spiked mohawk.
Here is the official video of her new single "White Liar" (sorry about the leading ad)...
This might be the only music interest we have in common :) She is one of my favorites. Have you heard her sing harmony with her boyfriend, Blake Shelton, in "Home"? That's a good one too!
ReplyDeleteI figured Miranda was a little too mainstream for you. :)
