Reigning ACM Entertainer of the Year and three-time GRAMMY winner Miranda Lambert releases her eagerly awaited eighth solo album Palomino today, April 29, via Vanner Records/RCA Nashville. Listen HERE.

Already lauded as one of the year’s most anticipated albums prior to arrival by Vulture and USA Today, the project lyrically visits 30+ locations with countless characters along the way, as the expansive 15-song project takes listeners on a freewheeling trek from the Mojave Desert to Battambang, Cambodia and everywhere in between. Lambert serves as a co-writer on 14 of the 15 songs, with the only outside cut arriving via a rousing cover of Mick Jagger’s “Wandering Spirit.”

Variety observes that “her voice is impeccable” on “yet another rock-solid entry in one of the 21st century’s most ruthlessly consistent discographies” while Rolling Stone celebrates her as “country music’s most ambitious artist” and Yahoo Entertainment remarks, “this trailblazer once again confounds expectations and pushes musical boundaries.”

The L.A. Times agrees, noting, “Lambert’s catalog might be the most consistent of any current country star’s. But nobody has taken more chances with her sound than she has.” NPR adds that “where so many country artists are still, somehow, stuck on back roads, Lambert is speeding down the interstate” as Paste posits that her songwriting is “unparalleled in country music—and beyond.”

Pitchfork also praises the “scattershot travelogue that houses some of her best-ever songwriting” for “demonstrating the tensile strength of Lambert’s craft in all sorts of settings,” while Esquire declares that Palomino is “a stunning summary of all her strengths and styles, eclectic and cohesive and yet another step forward in a career that has stood, from day one, for creative evolution and growth” and Billboard adds, “Palomino finds Lambert at the top of her game, both synthesizing the classic tropes of country music while modernizing its sound and taking risks.”

“Palomino came together during a time when the gypsy-spirit side of me couldn’t wander,” shares the reigning ACM Entertainer of the Year. “The characters along the way, the stories and these places ended up inspiring me in ways I’ve not experienced before. I hope they spark that in you, too.”

The journey to Palomino will be highlighted this Sunday, May 1, at 9 a.m. ET / 8 a.m. CT as the first female entertainer to have a presence on Broadway visits her own Casa Rosa bar and restaurant with “CBS Sunday Morning” reporter Lee Cowan to offer an in-depth look at the new album’s inspirations and her numerous career accomplishments thus far.

That storied career nearly two decades in the making was on full display at her Nashville concert last night, where the Tennessean extolled her as “court[ing] legendary status,” noting, “At some point in a top artist’s career, their work exceeds the space of being treated as one of many great songs. Instead, their hits are elevated to being generation-defining artistic works. This moment happened on April 28 for Miranda Lambert.”

The evening also included a surprise pre-show presentation where Lambert was presented with a career-spanning plaque (photo below) honoring her abundant achievements thus far. In addition to recognizing her more than 5 billion on demand streams and over 9 million albums sold, the plaque also recognized 10 brand new RIAA certifications bringing the total Gold, Platinum and multi-Platinum certifications to more than 37,500,000 combined copies of her Vanner Records/RCA Nashville catalog.

Lambert will take that hugely successful catalog hits on the road along with the new music from Palomino this spring as her co-headlining The Bandwagon Tour with Little Big Town kicks off in her home state of Texas next Friday, May 6, before traveling to Las Vegas for her recently announced Velvet Rodeo residency at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino’s Zappos Theater this September, with dates scheduled through April 2023.
