 Miranda Lambert is on Fire! March 16, 2005
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This album "Kerosene" is the best CD! Miranda is an amazing singer, and an unbelieveable songwriter!! There is not one song on the entire thing that you would want to skip. The title track "Kerosene" is a foot stompin' attitude song about a woman being burned by love and she's now "giving up on love 'cause loves givin' up on me" All the songs are so great it's hard to tell you which one is the best. All I can say is if you are thinking about getting it... stop thinking just get it! You won't regret it! It's awesome!!!
Not just a singer ... a songwriter. March 25, 2005

I am so impressed with this debut album. Miranda Lambert has co-written nearly every track. The tone of her voice is pure, although it is pure Texan. The songs are fun, refreshing, thoughful, and just thoroughly enjoyable.

Miranda Lambert's cd is full of songs that anyone can relate to. She is a talented young woman. She writes her own songs. Her voice is beautiful. This cd is a must buy for country fans.

With "Kerosene," former "Nashville Star" Miranda Lambert has set the bar high for herself in contemporary Country. Having written or co-authored most of the tracks on this album, she has already set herself apart from many of her popular peers. Songs like the heavily Pop Country "Me and Charlie Talking" and "What About Georgia" got her in the door in Nashville and on the air in the pop-flooded field of Country radio, but it's her other songs that will add longevity to her career. Tunes like the title track, a snappy, sassy, kick-to-the-teeth tune will win over fans in the Gretchen Wilson arena while not coming off as fluff, whereas tunes like "Greyhound Bound for Nowhere" and "Love is Looking For You" will garner the admiration of serious songwriting fans. Her only major misfire on this album is the Tim McGraw-esque cheesy, "I Wanna Die." It hearkens back to a day whenever "Refried Dreams" and "Indian Outlaw" ruled the airwaves.
Lambert also has something that can either help or hinder her career. She's good-looking. That's not meant to be derogatory in any way. The problem with being attractive in Country music these days is that no matter how serious your songwriting is, you'll always be compared to "style over substance" stars such as Faith Hill, Martina McBride, and lesser wannabe pop divas. Hopefully Nashville won't lump Lambert into this group. Instead, I hope she's allowed to do things on her own terms and leave the style coaching to lighter torch-queens like Hill and McBride.
In a perfect world, Lambert will focus more of her attention on serious Country tunes. If she does that, this young lady will establish herself as a major player in Nashville. She may not win all of the glitzy awards or grab the attention of "People" magazine, but I have a feeling that Lambert will be around longer than many of today's upstart Country performers. In fact, as long as she doesn't fall into the glitzy trappings of contemporary Pop Country, she may be looked upon as an important factor in what could be a rebirth of the Country songwriter. That'd be a welcome renaissance in a genre which has given in to numbers and let substance in song fall to the wayside.
A stunning debut January 3, 2007

If 'Kerosene' is any indication, we will be hearing Miranda Lambert's name for a long time to come. The songs are all strong, Lambert's songwriting ability at this stage of the game speaks of unlimited potential. The title cut is pure fun and energy, 'I Wanna Die' is a playful, sultry bass guitar driven romp. 'I Can't Be Bothered' and 'Me and Charlie Talking' are pure unabated country -- not the Adult Contemporary drivel that clogs mainstream country radio these days. Her ballads are very appealing as well, including 'Greyhound Bound For Nowhere' with the poignant lyric "She loves you and you need me, but there's some things we can't share".
One of the things that surprised me the most about this album are the excellent arrangements and musicianship. Often, especially for female country artists, the music is unimaginative, purposely pushed to the background to highlight the vocalist's talent. That is not the case here, each song is crafted with care, such as the excellent percussion effect on 'Me and Charlie', and the guitar swells on 'Greyhound'. Lambert's backing group is allowed to breathe and demonstrate their substantial skills. I definitely recommend this album to anyone who loves authentic country or Texas music.
