NASHVILLE, TN – Fresh off the heels of her three ACM Awards including Top Female Vocalist and Album and Video of the Year, Miranda Lambert scores her second # 1 single with “The House That Built Me.” Earlier this year Lambert notched her first # 1 single with the self penned  “White Liar,” from her critically acclaimed and award winning third album, Revolution.
Of the 14 tracks that comprise Revolution, Lambert wrote or co-wrote 11. And while she did not write “The House That Built Me,” the song has a special place in the hearts of Lambert and her parents. Lambert explains, “When I was about 5-years-old, my parents had their own business. And, you know, when the phone stops ringing and you’re self-employed…the phone stops ringing. So we had to move and live with my uncle for a while. Then we got to rent this huge farmhouse that was dilapidated, I mean, it was in terrible shape. But it had so much potential and my mom could see that. We didn’t have a lot, but we had everything we needed and I don’t feel like I ever missed out on one thing. I really learned valuable lessons at a young age  and it means a lot to my parents because that made me who I am. ‘The House That Built Me’ describes that perfectly. I feel like the fact that I recorded this song lets my parents know that they did a good job with me.”
After her headlining tour “Roadside Bars & Pink Guitars” makes a Texas stop this weekend, Lambert will head to Nashville for the CMT Awards where she’s nominated for “Video of the Year” and “Female Video of the Year” for “White Liar. She’ll also take part in the CMA Music Festival where she will perform on the LP Field stage on Friday night, June 11 and closing out the week with her appearance at Bonnaroo on Sunday, June 13th.
Three-time Grammy nominee, platinum-selling recording artist and hit singer/songwriter Miranda Lambert scored three awards at this year’s Academy of Country Music awards, including Album of the Year for Revolution, Female Vocalist of the Year and Video of the Year for “White Liar.” Her critically-acclaimed third album, Revolution debuted at number One and joins her previous two releases that debuted at the very top of Billboard’s Country Album Charts making her one of three artists in country music history whose first three albums landed the Number One spot out of the box.  
Lambert received rare perfect reviews from countless publications including 4 stars from Rolling Stone and USA Today, an ‘A’ from Entertainment Weekly and exuberant praise from SPIN, NY Times, Washington Post and more.  Many have claimed Revolution the “Best Album of the Year” in any genre including Houston Chronicle and NPR’s All Things Considered. 
She won the coveted ACM Album of the Year in 2008 and ACM Best New Female Award in 2007. 
With this much artillery under her belt, it’s no surprise the fiery Texas bombshell packs a pretty hard punch – her live shows no exception. She is currently headlining the “Roadside Bars and Pink Guitars” tour. For more information, visit www.MirandaLambert.com
