365 project:"im givin' up on love, 'cause love's given up on me"

50.

artist:Miranda Lambert
album:kerosene

the very first time i heard Miranda Lambert's song "kerosene" i fell in love. i absolutely related to the sentiment, and still do, to this day. i bought the CD, but haven't listened to it really at all until today.

i did, however, see Miranda down at bonnaroo last summer. i was wandering around the farm and saw that she was playing, and knew that i knew "kerosene" so i figured id check her out. shes obviously put out a few albums since the one I'm talking about here, so there was a lot of stuff in her set that i didn't know. she was so much fun to watch, though, that it didn't matter that i didn't know her songs.

that is a picture that i took at 'roo, with my old, crappy (but well-loved) camera.

i really don't have much to say about this album. i have a weird obsession with country music. i love to listen to it, but i don't connect to it on the same level that i connect to a band like alkaline trio or brand new. but i generally find that the lyrics are fitting, more so than the previously mentioned bands. i don't know, its a strange love affair that i have with country music. maybe by the end of this project it'll make more sense.
