20 years later, Lambert celebrates "Kerosene"

Friday, March 14, 2025 – Miranda Lambert is celebrating the 20th anniversary of her major label debut, "Kerosene," with the never-before-released "I Don't Love Here Anymore," recorded during the original album sessions.

On April 25, "Kerosene" will be available on vinyl for the first time ever.

"This album changed everything for me," Lambert said. "It's where my journey truly began, and I can hardly believe it's been 20 years. Releasing' Kerosene' on vinyl for the first time and sharing a never-before-heard song from that era feels incredibly special. I can't wait for y'all to hear it and relive the fire that started it all."

"Kerosene" debuted atop the Billboard Top Country Albums chart upon its March 15, 2005 release, eventually gaining Platinum certification by the RIAA.

Today's anniversary release follows her latest single "Run," which arrived at country radio on Feb. 24 with 73 first-week adds. She will join Morgan Wallen for several stadium dates of the upcoming I'm The Problem Tour, while headlining sets at festivals and one-off dates this summer including Two Step Inn, Country Stampede, Lakefront Music Fest and Field & Stream Music Fest.

That may never more apparent than in the country rocker Lambert wrote ...
CD review - Revolution Every once in a while an album comes along that restores your faith in mainstream country music. Miranda Lambert's "Revolution" is just such a recording. It's not revolutionary, as the title might suggest. Instead, this CD is chock full of topnotch songs that are both memorable and sincere and never sound slick or overproduced. (Come to think of it, such old school values as these may in fact be revolutionary around Nashville). Lambert vocalizes a bit like a little girl at ...
CD review - Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Even though it sounds like a cliche from the big book of country songwriting, the truth is that, when the timing's right, a loser can end up being the biggest winner of all. Today's object lesson comes from Miranda Lambert and her sophomore album, the follow-up to her 2005 near-platinum debut, "Kerosene." Imagine for a moment if the then-19-year-old had actually taken the crown in 2003's Nashville Star and then been forced into the studio within weeks to be primped and ...
