Miranda Lambert needs two discs to bear The Weight of These Wings
Country singer's latest trades studio sheen for first-take rawness
The guitars ring a little damaged, and so does Miranda Lambert.
“Break-up record” is too reductive to describe Miranda Lambert’s The Weight of These Wings, but it’s a start. Though the country artist’s heart aches plenty in her first music after last year’s split from Blake Shelton, she struggles with more than a failed love in her latest double album.

...off of Miranda Lambert's The Weight of These Wings
While her previous LP, Platinum, shined with professional sheen, this album favors first-take rawness. “Highway Vagabond” and “Six Degrees of Separation” buckle down on live-band looseness. “Vice” and “Well-Rested” leave a mark through searing intimacy.
The guitars ring a little damaged, and so does Lambert. Throughout the double disc, the well-kept make-up smears off of country music’s face of feminine confidence. “Ugly Lights” puts a mirror to her flaws, from her increased reliance on alcohol to inability to keep anyone by her side.
More than details of a divorce, these deep personal cracks shown on one of the scene’s most powerful voices hurts the most to hear. But it’s also one human moment for a musical icon to prove even heroes are imperfect. Lambert once went guns blazing on an ex and his new lover. Here, she hangs that past for good for a grown look into a broken heart.
