    Very combustible material sure to launch her

    Pros: She covers many emotions in her strong vocalizing

    Cons: A little pop for some folks' tastes?

    Playing Time – 46:17 -- Chad Cromwell’s pounding drums and Glenn Worf’s throbbing bass lay the foundation and set the stage for Miranda Lambert’s explosive music that has country, pop, rock and even a few bluegrass sensibilities. The talented and... beautiful young lady was on the first season of USA Network’s “Nashville Star” show when Buddy Jewell won. Now she’s a Sony recording artist, and her successful singles, the upbeat “Me and Charlie Talking” and sad “Greyhound Bound For Nowhere” got much airplay and kept the buzz about Miranda buzzing. It just goes to show that she can cover many emotions in her strong vocalizing. Besides singing with style and verve, what’s equally amazing is that she is an astonishing songwriter too. She wrote or co-wrote eleven of the twelve singles on “Kerosene,” collaborating with one of her “Nashville Star” competitors (Travis Howard) on “Bring Me Down” and “Mama, I'm Alright.” Howard wrote “I Can't Be Bothered,” a two-stepping honky tonk tune that serves as an especially nice showcase for the steel and electric guitars. Although they didn’t immediately take to each other, Howard and Lambert developed a bond after sitting around playing each other’s songs on guitar. Miranda wrote “What About Georgia” about Howard in response song to his “Train Wreck,” a less than flattering song written about Lambert. Miranda Lambert is only 21, and she’s taking her time to do things right. She understands that the road to stardom is a long, uphill climb that involves much hard work and some luck. While her music has pop leanings, I can appreciate that her musical interests also include blues, ballads and alt-country vibes. A taste of mandolin (Randy Scruggs), banjo (Mike Wrucke), harmonica, and even jaw harp sneak into some of the full mixes. That down-home feeling is what helps make “Me and Charlie Talking” a favorite cut on the project. It also has a simple, upbeat heartfelt message that tells a story about friends growing up. In true collaborative fashion, Miranda and her guitar-picking father took turns for 3 hours on a rainy night writing alternate lines for “Greyhound Bound for Nowhere” about a woman on a bus thinking about her lover and his girlfriend. From Texas, Miranda was singing in talent shows by age 10. High school choir and an interest in the music of Mariah Carey led to a Tru-Valu Talent Search Contest in April, 2000 at age 16. She started playing guitar and writing songs by age 17. Her father taught her five guitar chords, and Miranda wrote ten songs. A small budget independent record and playing throughout Texas with her band, Texas Pride, got her thinking more and more about pursuing a music career. A couple songs landed on the Texas music charts. Nashville Star was next She first competed in Dallas, but didn't make the top 30 out of 250 participants. Lambert sang Shania Twain's “Still the One,” a song not well-suited for her voice. Then she competed in Houston and won by singing “Crazy,” along with two originals from her indie album, “Lyin' Here” and “Somebody Else.” In the Nashville finals, she came in third with the judges commenting on her great look, sparkle, voice, and confidence. “Kerosene” is some very combustible material that is sure to launch Miranda Lambert’s career to even greater heights. Light up Miranda’s music, and watch her burst upon the country music scene. (Joe Ross, Roseburg, OR) Read more Less
