Miranda Lambert offered glimpses of her home state with her new “honky tonk as hell” record, Postcards from Texas. The powerhouse singer-songwriter celebrated “Album 10” as it made its long-awaited arrival on Friday (September 13).

Lambert, who was born in Longview, Texas, shares snapshots of destinations across the Lone Star State throughout the 14-track collection. The opening track on Postcards from Texas tells a wild story of a hitchhiking armadillo in Amarillo who “asked me for a light.” From there, Lambert, 40, takes listeners on a statewide journey with heartfelt ballads like “Santa Fe,” featuring fellow Texas-born artist Parker McCollum, “January Heart,” “Way Too Good At Breaking My Heart” and more. She also amps up the energy on honky tonk-worthy anthems like “Armadillo,” “Alimony,” and “B**** On The Sauce (Just Drunk),” to name a few. Postcards in Texas comes to an end with Lambert’s rendition of David Allan Coe’s mid-70's song, “Living On The Run.”

Lambert kicked off her Postcards from Texas chapter earlier this year with “Wranglers,” a blazing revenge anthem that nods to the Kerosene days earlier in her career. Postcards from Texas reunited Lambert with some of her previous collaborators, including Jon Randall and Jack Ingram (The Marta Tapes), Jesse Frasure, and others, plus her husband, Brendan McLoughlin.

Postcards from Texas is Lambert’s latest full-length album since Palomino arrived in April 2022. On that record, Lambert took listeners on a cross-country journey with stops in dozens of destinations and a unique cast of characters along the way. She juxtaposes Palomino with a home-based theme in her newly-debuted era, which quickly drew praise from fellow country artists Randy Houser, Jenna Paulette, Jake Worthington, Priscilla Block and more. Lambert said on a hand-written postcard, “a piece of my Texas heart is now yours.”

Lambert is set to receive the Country Icon Award at the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards, hosted by Shania Twain. Toby Keith received that honor during the inaugural show last year. Lambert is also part of the star-studded lineup of performers and nominated in coveted categories at the second annual show. The People’s Choice Country Awards will air live on Thursday, September 26 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC and Peacock.
