Miranda Lambert’s back — and more than ever before, she’s bringing her home state along for the ride.
“Postcards from Texas,” Miranda Lambert’s ninth studio album — and first as an artist signed to Republic Records — will arrive Sept. 13.
As of November 2023 , Lambert has been announced as having moved from her 18-year home at Sony Nashville to becoming a Republic Records-signed artist and co-founder of the Big Loud Texas imprint alongside previously mentioned frequent collaborator and singer-songwriter Jon Randall .
The album promises acoustic guitar performances, ballads, rockers and yes, plenty of fiddle and steel guitar.
“Lambert continues making music that speaks to the heart of women who love hard, live out loud and are fearless about how they take on the world around them,” adds a press statement.
