I listened to the new album from Miranda last night, This one is going to be huge. What a recording, this one rocks, its got a Texas red dirt influence all over it. She recorded a version of Canadian singer songwriter Fred Eaglesmith's song "Time to get a Gun" and the best version of his original can be found on Fred's album "The official bootleg series volume two" live at Gruene Hall in 2004. The intro by Fred before the song on his Cd explains it all, always loved that song. Fred is from Southern Ontario Canada but he is country at its best and he is an honorary Texan. Cant wait to see Miranda again at the Chicago country music festival October 3rd and 4Th, and its free! The songs were co written by Miranda except for three of them and her writing companions include Ashley Monroe, Blake Shelton, Travis Howard, Charles Kelly and Dave Haywood of Lady Antebellum, Tom Douglas and more. Songs she did not have a hand in include the work of Eaglesmith as well as half the Americana duo of Buddy and Julie Miller, and a song by John Prine "Thats the way the world goes round"Click on the title here to listen to the album now.
I received my photo pass for Miranda's show at the Chicago Country Music Festival going on October 3 and 4 in Grant park. I will not legally be able to post any of my photos due to contract obligations but if i get permission later then i will. LeeAnn Womack and Jamey Johnson will also be performing so i should be able to post some shots of them on my main site AMP.
