Many contestants on AMERICAN IDOL and similar TV shows go on to greater success, but due to their relative lack of experience, often have a hard time finding their niche. Not Miranda Lambert--when KEROSENE was released in 2005, the NASHVILLE STAR third-place winner was barely out of her teens, but she had already spent years honing her craft in bars. In addition to being a confident vocalist and strong-willed businessperson, Lambert is a crafty songwriter whose work is easily on par with that of Nashville veterans twice her age.
The title track is a pounding, attitude-filled country-rocker reminiscent of John Cougar Mellencamp's "Rain on the Scarecrow." (That this diminutive young blonde woman can spit out lines like "Trade the truth for a lie/Cheatin' ain't really a crime" so convincingly is also startling.) "I Can't Be Bothered" is straight-up honky-tonk, replete with whining steel guitar, Buck Owens-worthy twangy Telecaster, and a jaunty dance beat, while "Me and Charlie Talking" is funky swamp-country of the Jerry Reed variety, albeit with lovelorn lyrics that reveal Lambert's old soul. An uncommonly accomplished debut, KEROSENE is the first outing by a genuine all-around talent.

Professional Reviews

Entertainment Weekly (No. 812, p.72) - "[A] spunky set of honky-tonk, country-rock, and Sheryl Crow-style ballads....[Lambert] clearly knows how to write a killer tune." - Grade: B+

eason of Nashville Star gave us Buddy Jewell who has just released his second major label release “Times Like These” for Sony Music Nashville. John Arthur Martinez, the runner-up signed on with Dualtone records, and Sony Music Nashville after signing Miranda Lambert (the third place finisher of season 1) kept Nashville Star and RanFans wondering where the CD was. The debut CD “Kerosene” for Miranda Lambert was scheduled for release, then pushed back, then re-scheduled and pushed back again, but finally during Nashville Star’s third season Miranda Lambert’s CD arrived on store shelves, the question then was, Was it worth the wait?
