WHEREAS, Lindale native Miranda Lambert has been recognized |
|
|
as one of the rising stars of country music by winning the New |
|
|
Female Vocalist honor at the Academy of Country Music Awards on May |
|
|
15, 2007; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This prestigious accolade follows the success of Ms. |
|
|
Lambert's two albums; her debut, Kerosene, appeared in 2005 and has |
|
|
sold more than one million copies; in 2007, she has gained new |
|
|
attention and new fans with the release of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, |
|
|
which immediately went to No. 1 on the charts and has received |
|
|
excellent reviews from a long list of national publications; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, With an ability to write and sing moving songs about |
|
|
everyday situations, Miranda Lambert has caught the nation's ear |
|
|
with her stories of wronged and vengeful women and other characters |
|
|
who struggle with life's difficulties and occasional triumphs; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Ms. Lambert's own life lessons began in East Texas, |
|
|
and she started writing songs in her teenage years; by the time she |
|
|
was 17, she was performing in venues around the Lone Star State, and |
|
|
in 2003 she won a place on the Nashville Star television program; |
|
|
Ms. Lambert finished third in the competition, and her appearance |
|
|
led to a record contract and the next stage in her career; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A young woman of immense talent who is determined to |
|
|
make meaningful music on her own terms, Miranda Lambert has proven |
|
|
herself yet another of the inspired musicians to hail from the Lone |
|
|
Star State, and it is a pleasure to recognize this latest |
|
|
achievement in her promising career; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Miranda Lambert for winning the New |
|
|
Female Vocalist honor at the Academy of Country Music Awards and |

|
extend to her best wishes for continued success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Ms. Lambert as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
