Kerosene

Miranda Lambert

A high-octane introduction to country's new outlaw. Aggressive electric guitars meet dusty-road storytelling for a record that feels like a match being struck.

March 15, 2005 · Columbia Nashville

A fierce, sun-baked blend of vengeful fire and quiet, dusty-road resignation.

Moments Worth Listening For

The aggressive, distorted harmonica blast that kicks off the title track like a match hitting gasoline.

The shift from childhood innocence to adult resignation during the final chorus of Me and Charlie Talking.

The stark, bone-dry acoustic intimacy of Greyhound Bound for Nowhere that highlights her unvarnished vocal break.
