Vince Gill + Time Jumpers Appear on Miranda Lambert’s New Album
Miranda Lambert's long-awaited 'Platinum' album hits shelves today (June 3), and a few big names, including Carrie Underwood, Little Big Town and Vince Gill's Western swing band, the Time Jumpers, join her on the record.
The 11-piece band sing 'All That's Left,' an uptempo tune written by famed tunesmith Tom T. Hall and his wife, Dixie. The group's inclusion on the record makes sense, at least to the Time Jumpers' most famous member.
"Miranda gets that world. She's a Texas girl. She gets what that music is," Gill tells Rolling Stone Country. "I've always liked her because she's got spunk, and she knows what she wants to do. She has that thing. It's driven inside of her, and you can tell that when you're around her."
The Time Jumpers' band leader, Kenny Sears, says the idea for their inclusion on the record actually came from Lambert's husband, Blake Shelton.
"Miranda told us that he's the one that actually suggested to her that she use us," Sears adds. "She said, 'I'm not going to give him credit! I'll tell you guys, but I'm taking the credit for this.'"
The songstress says her new record reflects where she currently is in her personal and professional life.
“There’s humor on this album, and nostalgia, and it’s feminine,” Lambert notes. “There’s girl power, not in the ‘I’m gonna burn your house down and kill you,’ but more where I am as a 30-year-old woman and wife. I’m more settled in life, embracing the good and the bad, and that’s all reflected on ‘Platinum.’”
