Miranda Lambert’s Postcards From Texas is a musical journey through her home state, blending personal nostalgia with clever, relatable songwriting. The album opens with the steel guitar ballad “Looking Back on Luckenbach,” a reflective ode to Texas, setting the tone for the album's deeply rooted Southern charm.
Standout tracks include the witty divorce anthem “Alimony,” where Lambert playfully stretches the word "Alamo" into "alimony" in a lyrical twist that feels like classic country gold. Her voice drives the album’s emotional range, from the tender heartache of “Way Too Good at Breaking My Heart” to the unapologetic sass of “B—— on the Sauce (Just Drunk).”
Lambert also tips her hat to country history with a cover of David Allan Coe’s “Living on the Run,” showing her respect for the genre’s roots while still blazing her own trail. Co-produced with Jon Randall and recorded at Austin’s Arlyn Studios, this is the first time Lambert has made an album in Texas since her early days.
At this stage in her career, Lambert’s Postcards From Texas feels like a victory lap—she has nothing to prove, just a heartfelt tribute to the state that shaped her.
