Miranda Lambert working on 5th album August
While we might still get one more single from Miranda Lambert‘s fourth album, “Four The Record,” the Texan superstar has admitted that she’ll be working on her next solo album as soon as August. For fans expecting more angry, break-up anthems from the fiery singer they might be in for a shock – she’s been listening to a different kind of country lately.
In an interview with AZ Central, Miranda said:
“I’m going into the studio in August to make my fifth solo album. And I think I’m just gonna have fun because I’ve been serious a lot. I’ve written songs about killing people and sad songs, and I really want to do a tour that’s just a lot of fun, so I want to do an album with more fun songs. And I mean, don’t get me wrong. I’ll definitely have my serious Miranda Lambert-style songs, but everything I’m listening to now that I’m liking is kind of a jam that you could listen to driving around on back roads or on your boat.”
Miranda also admits that she gets nervous when making her albums:
“Yeah! I mean, I freak out every time. I’m like a basket case when it’s time to make a record. I get so nervous as to ‘Is this gonna work? Is this gonna be the album that stops selling, that stops getting nominated?’ I know that I can’t live like that. I can’t do my whole career like that. But it definitely crosses my mind.”
Miranda just released her second Pistol Annies album, “Annie Up,” earlier this year.
Are you excited for a potential new sound from Miranda? Or are you hoping she’ll stick to “Revolution” and “Four The Record“?

Pistol Annies cancelling shows
Country music all-girls trio Pistol Annies have cancelled all upcoming shows due to “unforeseen circumstances.” The group, which features Angaleena Presley “Holler Annie,” Ashley Monroe “Hippie Annie,” and Miranda Lambert “Lone Star Annie,” had their promoter send a one-sentence e-mail to the venues.
The e-mail said:
“Due to unforeseen circumstances, Pistol Annies are unable to appear on any dates in June but Miranda Lambert will perform instead.”
Miranda will perform solo instead at all Annies scheduled dates in June. The trio have been busy promoting the debut single “Hush Hush” from their sophomore album “Annie Up.” No other information is available at this time as to why all the dates have been cancelled. There are NO dates listed on the Pistol Annies website at this time, but fans still wanting to catch Miranda Lambert in their spot can check out Miranda’s tour page to see when she’ll be playing all month long. The dates include sold-out Annies dates.
Ashley Monroe has released her own solo work this year on Warner Music Nashville. “Like A Rose” is her return to a major recording label, and she’ll be hitting the road as a solo artist opening up for Hunter Hayes.
What do you think is going on, country fans? Are you disappointed to see just Miranda at one of the Pistol Annies dates you had tickets to?
