The Weight of These Wings

Miranda Lambert

A sprawling, 24-track double album of dusty Americana and road-worn introspection. Sparse, analog, and deeply committed to the beauty of the breakdown.

November 18, 2016 · RCA Records

A weary but resilient exploration of loneliness and the freedom found in leaving everything behind.

Moments Worth Listening For

the skeletal acoustic opening of Tin Man where the room noise is almost as loud as the guitar

the hazy, psychedelic swirl of the electric guitars on Pink Sunglasses that feels like a heat mirage

the way her voice cracks slightly on the word 'vice' during the first chorus of the lead single
