Miranda Lambert’s ‘Postcards From Texas’: All 14 Tracks Ranked

The Texas native's 10th studio album has landed as she tips her hat the Lone Star State.

For more than two decades, Lambert has been defiantly and triumphantly carving her own sonic territory, setting herself apart by skillfully writing and recording songs that detail life’s idyllic and messy moments, capturing both blazing zeniths of confidence and hazy shadows of doubt — always with a tumbleweed spirit. Written by Audra Mae, Evan McKeever and Ryan Carpenter, this song etches the tale of a woman dead-set on independence from a dead-end ex-lover, and she’s undeterred by the fiery bout of jeans-burning revenge required to set those plans off the ground. One of the most wildly humorous songs on the album, “Alimony” doesn’t hold back, layering ample amounts of sarcasm and lyrical zingers as she sings of daring a wayward lover to go right ahead and play his games, since she knows a high-powered lawyer whose legal successes have given him a mansion.
