Win Miranda Lambert TIX From KIX
Miranda Lambert captured the 2010 ACM's ALBUM OF THE YEAR prize for the second year in a row -- and the first time a female solo artist has won it twice! She also won her first ACM Female VOCALIST OF THE YEAR award as well as a VIDEO OF THE YEAR trophy for the wedding-themed "White Liar."
Miranda Lambert, the daughter of a country songwriter and guitarist and a detective, grew up in a small town outside Dallas, Texas. Lambert began entering talent contests at a young age and at age 17 she learned to play the guitar and began to immediately write songs. Around the same time she formed the Texas Pride Band and began gigging professionally. In 2001 and with a little help from her father, Lambert released her first independent CD,
Miranda Lambert. After finishing first in the Texas auditions for the Nashville Star television show, she moved to Nashville to be part of the show and ended up coming in third, but eventually scored a recording contract with Sony. At age 21 in 2004, Lambert released her first major single "Me and Charlie Talking" followed by her first album Kerosene in 2005. Lambert wrote or co-wrote ten of the eleven tracks on the album. In 2007 came Crazy Ex-Girlfriend with the singles "Gun Powder and Lead," "More Like Her," "Famous in a Small Town" and "Dry Town." Her most recent effort came in 2009 with the album Revolution and two singles from it are already climbing the charts: "White Liar" and "The House That Built Me."
