Having seen her previous albums debut at #1 on the country charts, nobody was surprised when Revolution, the third release from Miranda Lambert, turned out to contain another extremely strong collection of songs.
The Grammy Award nominee has writing credits on 12 of the 15 tracks, for which she also called on the services of country stars like Dave Haywood, Charles Kelley (both of Lady Antebellum), Blake Shelton and Ashley Monroe. And on the other three, she drew on the best, using material from acclaimed singer-songwriters John Prine, Julie Miller and Allen Shamblin.
That explains the outpouring of praise from the critics. “Miranda Lambert remains country’s most refreshing act”, declared Rolling Stone, while Entertainment Weekly called Revolution “the best mainstream-country album so far this year”.
