Miranda Lambert is no doubt an accomplished singer and a blazing ball of energy on stage, but the Texas songstress sees her job as a little more than that when she's performing live. Lambert believes that she not only owes her fans an enjoyable evening, but also a means of escaping the day-to-day worries of life.

"That's what entertainment is for," she says. "You don't go to a movie because you want to sit there through the whole thing and think about everything horrible in your life. I think music provides the same escape."

Lambert, whose hits run the gamut from the feisty 'Gunpowder and Lead' to the touching 'More Like Her,' takes her job as a performer very seriously.

"I think people come to a concert because they want to cut loose for two hours of their life, drink a beer, listen to music and just be away from their problems, because they have to deal with that seven days a week. And my job is to try to make people have fun and not think about that stuff."

Lambert is now hard at work on her third album, tentatively due out this September.
