Revolution
By: Miranda Lambert

 In 2003, Miranda Lambert came in a disappointing third place on the first season of the now defunct Nashville Star.  Seven years later, Lambert has released her third CD, Revolution, and her career is hotter than ever.  She is the most successful musician of any that were on Nashville Star.

On Revolution, Lambert shows her softer side with songs like my favorite, “Dead Flowers,” and “The House that Built Me.”  Miranda performed a one night show at The Ryman in September ‘09 to celebrate the release of this album, and when she played “The House that Built Me” with her parents in the audience, there wasn’t a dry eye in the place (including mine, and I’m not a crier.)

Ran doesn’t shy away from her rowdy side, though, rocking the house with songs like “Somewhere Trouble Don’t Go” or the big single “White Liar.”  You can hear a short clip of “Dead Flowers” by listening to our Popmatic Podcast. Revolution was definately one of my favorite albums of 2009.
