I initially did not care for Miranda Lambert but she has turned into the small segment of new country I can stand. Decent voice and good songwriting. Value added that she is HAWT!!!
That said, Blake Shelton, we need to talk. Marry this chick? Really? Between Kerosene and Gunpowder and Lead I think we can get a pretty good idea of how this is going to go down if you piss her off.
Haven't heard Carbon Leaf lately, probably because I haven't passed through Richmond much. DK Murphys and Flogging Molly both fine to listen to.
