A year after parting ways with her longtime label Sony Music Nashville, Miranda Lambert inked a brand-new deal with Republic Records in partnership with Big Loud. The Texan packed a powerful punch with her first single, “Wranglers,” released in May. The song brought every bit of the fire and grit that Lambert’s fans have come to know and love. But the “Kerosene” singer recently displayed her softer side on a stunning acoustic version of “Wranglers.”

Fans Are Begging Miranda Lambert To Drop the Acoustic Version of “Wranglers”
Taking to social media Tuesday (Oct. 29), Miranda Lambert teased fans with a snippet of the acoustic performance, promising the full video on her YouTube channel.
Far from diminishing the song’s scorching message, this pared-down version of “Wranglers” serves to amplify it. “slow, fast, whatever, this song gets me FIRED UPPPP,” one Instagram user gushed.
“bless my ears and drop this version pls,” added another X/Twitter user.

The nine-time ACM Female Vocalist of the Year has called “Wranglers,” off her 10th studio album Postcards From Texas, “a classic tale of a woman taking her power back.”

“I am so proud to sing this song,” Lambert added. “It feels like it could have been on the same record as ‘Gunpowder & Lead’ in a lot of ways.”
Launching Her Own Record Label
Miranda Lambert has likely collected enough awards to fill several trophy cases during her 20-year career in country music. Now, the “Dammit Randy” singer is gearing up to add another title to her resume: record label owner. Lambert is teaming up with collaborator Jon Randall to start their own record label, Big Loud Texas – an imprint of Big Loud Records.
The Grammy Award-winning artist is hoping to spearhead an outlaw country music revival as the owner of Big Loud Texas.
“That music, that spirit, was grown in Texas and now it’s worldwide, and I want to be part of the next generation of that,” she told Music Week. “At some point [the country sound] divided between Nashville and Texas for some reason. I want to bridge the gap, because country music is country music, and there’s so many amazing styles of music in Texas… I want to make sure that it is nurtured and that we take care of that for the next generations to come.”
