MIRANDA LAMBERT SHINES ON THE HEELS OF THE
#1 DEBUT OF CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND
Lambert Wins "Best New Female Vocalist" at the Academy of Country Music Awards And Graces The Cover of No Depression
NASHVILLE, TN (May 17, 2007) - Miranda Lambert's accomplishments continue to build and there doesn't seem to be an end to her talent! The
singer/songwriter snagged the Academy of Country Music's "Best New Female Vocalist" Award at the 42nd Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas on
May 15th. After an electrifying performance of her latest single, "Famous in a Small Town," Lambert graciously accepted the honor from last
year's winner, Carrie Underwood. This marked her first award as a recording artist. Miranda also establishes herself and a powerhouse
country artist, appearing on the May/June cover of highly respected music magazine No Depression.
The talented Texan's sophomore album Crazy Ex-Girlfriend debuted at #1 on the Nielsen SoundScan Country Chart and #6 on the Top 200 Albums
Chart with nearly 53,000 copies sold in the first week. The album also entered the country digital albums chart at #1. The number one debut is the
second for Lambert, with her critically-acclaimed and platinum-selling debut album Kerosene also hitting number one the first week on the
charts in 2005.
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend was called "One of the best country albums of 2007" by USA Today and Miranda "one of country music's most
promising young stars" by the New York Times. Look for Miranda Lambert on tour with Toby Keith beginning in June.
With the critical acclaim, national media coverage, and new award in hand, it is clear that Lambert is more than just "Famous in a Small Town."
