Postcards from Texas is the ninth solo studio album by American country music singer Miranda Lambert. It was released on September 13, 2024, through a partnership between Republic Records and Big Loud.[1] It includes the singles "Wranglers" and "Run".[2][3]
Lambert announced the tracklisting for Postcards from Texas on July 24, 2024, via Instagram.[4] Self-described as a musical ode to her home state, Lambert co-produced the album with Jon Randall and recorded it at Arlyn Studios in Austin, Texas.[5] Lambert wrote or co-wrote 10 of the album's 14 tracks.[5] "Santa Fe" features guest vocals from Parker McCollum, and "Living on the Run" was originally recorded by its writer David Allan Coe for his 1976 album, Longhaired Redneck.[6]
"Wranglers" was released as the album's lead single on May 3, 2024.[7] It marked Lambert's first single release since her departure from longtime label home Sony Music Nashville, and subsequently signing a new joint recording deal with Republic Records and Big Loud.[2] She described the move as a "fresh start" and expressed joy in recording a full record in Texas for the first time since her self-titled independent album, released when Lambert was 18.[8]
"Dammit Randy" and "Alimony" were also released as promotional singles ahead of the album.[9][5] Lambert co-wrote "Dammit Randy" with her husband, Brendan McLoughlin, marking his first songwriting credits.[9] "Alimony" was released alongside the album announcement on July 24, 2024, and inspired by her parents frequently working divorce cases while private investigators in Dallas, Texas.[10] Described as a "shuffle", Lambert co-wrote the song with frequent collaborators Natalie Hemby and Shane McAnally, based around a spin on the phrase "Remember the Alamo".[6][8] "No Man's Land" was released as the third and final promotional single in August.[11]
"Run" was released on February 24, 2025, as the album's second single to country radio.[3]
