Ninety five KSJ Hotline.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Hie Miranda, Ladies and gentlemen, it is freaking Miranda Lambert.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Y'all, Oh my god. Okay, Hey, hey, sister.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
I've been playing your music for your entire career and
then some on ninety five KSJ, and I'm so happy
to have you on the famous phone.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Well, thank you. I'm we've both been doing it a minute,
haven't we.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Yes, we have, and we're still here, dag dead, Gummet.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Still in it, still on talk and look at here.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Thank you so much for putting out a country album.
Please tell us about Postcards from Texas well.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
I am so excited about this record. It is very country,
it's very hunky talk, which is my heart and soul,
you know what I mean. It's what I it's host started,
and that's why I went home to make it in Texas.
I felt like, after twenty years on Sony, I got
a new family with Republic New York and the Cloud,
and I just felt like I needed to go back
(00:57):
to the route of where it all started, which I
haven't made a rec in Texas since I was eighteen,
my little independent first album, So this felt like kind
of going back to like the country route that really
started this whole journey for me.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
I love that, and I got chill bumps for you.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
And I know, we just have so many people on
the Golf coast that are super fans of yours. And
you know, Alabama's kind of like kind of like Texas.
You know, I feel like in an alternate universe. I
actually live in Texas, but we're not that far. We're
like cousins. And right in between, we've got Mississippi. And
You've got a show come into Gochet at the sound
Amphitheater right after you released your new album.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
So that's cool.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Yes, yes, and I'm so excited about that. And I
do feel like just Southern folks in general, you know,
it is like we're all.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
In this corridor. But what I've found traveling all over
is that there are people that are just like us everywhere,
and country music brings us all together. I don't care
if you're in Detroit or Silly or Alabama or Mississippi.
You know, it's just really cool to see what country
music does and how it brings people together.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I love that. I love that so much.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
And I think I've got your CD in my collection
still from like Charlie and me and way way back
in the day. But my favorites are you know, Kerosene
and the Gunpowder and the White Lyre. But this song
I just played as a matter of fact, the Wranglers.
I mean, my gosh, you still sound just as good
as you did twenty years ago.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Well, thank you, And I feel like Wranglers is one
of those songs that could have been on my arse. Yes, yes,
it kind of feels like that fiery, sort of smoky
song that I've kind of started with.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Girl it is.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
It is hot. It is super hot, for sure, and
so I know I don't have you for very long.
What else do you want to tell people on the
Gulf Coast and people that you know have known you
for so long. It is tough to stay up in
this business, and especially as a woman. You you're like
one of the very top, and I think that's amazing.
But what do you want to tell folks that people
might not know or as you're coming back out with
(02:52):
this new project, anything in general you have for the
fine folks on the Gulf Coast.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Well, I want to say thanks for all the support
for all the years, and if you're new here here
and you know, we still have an amazing fan and
I'm still like just as fiery as I was, I
feel like, and I also have a parody that's very
close to my heart, so I always want to mention it.
It's called mut Nation and it's what Nation Foundation, and
you can go to mutnation dot com. But it's just
(03:17):
raising awareness for shelter puts and giving a voice to
the voiceless. So we all check that out.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Oh my gosh, a huge dog fan rescue fan right here.
Every dog I've ever had has been a rescue and
so yes, that is very near and dear to our
hearts around here.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
So thank you for doing that.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Oh no, thank you for advocating for those fur babies
that you know, we just you know, we just love them.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
They're they're literally like our children.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I never birthed a child, but I've had many many
fur babies that are equally as you know, as important
to me as humans.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Thanks sister in the same boat.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Yes, ma'am, and real quick like so uh September twenty seventh,
here in beautiful Ghachet, Mississippi, at the brand new sound
onto Amphitheater, and we gave away some tickets that we're
gonna have more tickets to give away for Miranda Labor,
although I think it might be sold out at this point,
so maybe I need to bite my words a little bit.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
But it must feel good. I mean, you do it
all the time. Are you used to performing? Is it
old hat? Do you still get nervous in front of people.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
I don't get nervous anymore. I've never really did.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
I think I just was like, I mean, I do
on like live TV, and like, you know, it's fast,
nerve racking, but yeah, I feel like I just like,
you know, at the end of the day, we're all
Brad's people, and I need to go out there and
sing some country songs.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
And you know, some days it's harder than others.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
And some days the crowd, you know, if I'm in
a funk or tired, they get me going.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Yeah, are rely on them a lot.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Well, Uh, Mississippi, y'all, don't fight at Miranda's show because
she's gonna stop the song and tell you to quit fighting.
Or there's only certain songs you can fight too, right, Yeah,
I just got the.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Ballad, y'all see what I want, But don't do it
during the back.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Yeah, thank you. Hello.
