There's no sophomore slump for Miranda Lambert, who follows her chart-topping debut, Kerosene, with a knockout punch. Both the title cut and the album-opening "Gunpowder & Lead" ("what little girls are made of") show that Lambert hasn't lost her edge or her appetite for revenge. Yet the quieter "Desperation," the more tuneful and tender "Love Letters," the wistful "More Like Her," and the primally intense "Down" show her emotional range and maturity. While her songwriting remains a strength, Lambert also displays superb taste in other people's material, with "Dry Town" (by Gillian Welch), "Getting Ready" (a new song from Patty Griffin), and "Easy from Now On" (with the lyric that provided the title to Emmylou Harris's classic Quarter Moon in a Ten-Cent Town) reinforcing the musical quality. There isn't a throwaway cut here. --Don McLeese

I don't buy too many cd's anymore. With Ol' Waylon and Johnny Cash gone, there is nothing much out there on the Country radio waves that pleases my ears. I like something different. When I saw Miranda Lambert singing "Kerosene" on the Country Music Awards a couple of years ago, I said "Who is that?" That is sure different. I bought that cd & was very impressed. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is just as good if not better. I'm not saying that Miranda Lambert will be other Waylon or Johnny Cash, but you could say she takes one step over the line. Singing and writing songs like "Kerosene", "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" and "Gunpowder & Lead" reminds me a little of Johnny Cash's "Delia's Gone". CMT wouldn't air that video because of the contents. Shame on them! Johnny got them back. Emmy's right & left! That's another thing that I like about Miranda, she writes most of her own songs. Buy the album, you won't be sorry.

Miranda Lambert is one of the few female country artists I really enjoy. I typically find myself enjoying the male voices of country music but she is truely great. I love this CD and I think anyone who loves country music will enjoy it too. She's a down-home country girl with a story to tell and a great voice to tell it with!
I LOVE THIS CD July 13, 2008

Lambert's follow-up to her debut 'Kerosene' doesn't disappoint. You get the traditional country sound and humour of 'Dry Town' along with the traditional angry, jealous woman on the edgier, more modern-sounding title track. This heavier 'foot to the floor' treatment is also given to 'Gunpowder And Lead' on which we completely root for the woman striking back against an abusive partner as well as on the menacing 'Down' in which a woman crushed by 'a strong man.... in Jackson Hole' takes emotional revenge on 'a little boy in Baton Rouge' and sounds a warning to other men to 'stay away from me'. The break-up heartache of 'Love Letters' preceeds 'Desperation', on which Lambert re-visits themes, such as, continuing to long for another despite knowing the relationship is not the right one. The poignant 'More Like Her' tells of the lover of an attractive but damaged woman being drawn back to the simple beauty of his original partner. Being aware of engaging in deceit but not being completely uncomfortable with the resultant guilt is the theme of 'Guilty In Here' while 'Getting Ready' is advance warning to a guy about to be ditched. 'Famous In A Small Town' equals no secrets in a small town. The album closes with the much-covered but still wonderful 1976 Carlene Carter co-penned song 'Easy From Now On'. So, no tricky second album here - Miranda's still firmly on track. This littl' girl's pure quality.
