“The Nashville queen cranks up the guitars, talks love and politics and keeps the drinks coming on a fantastic LP”
“The country singer rolls the dice on her new album, an entertaining, genre-busting joyride”
“From Loretta Lynn’s Don’t Come Home a-Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ on Your Mind) to this year’s huge US hit from Luke Combs, Beer Never Broke My Heart, alcohol has never been far from country music’s woes, and perhaps accounts for its candour. It positively sloshes through this endearing seventh LP from Tennessee’s Miranda Lambert. She whiles nights away in Dark Bars, finds nothing works like Tequila Doe”
“With her seventh album, the country star cheerfully exposes her sometimes-chaotic inner life, wearing her heart on her sleeve as she reaches for another shot of tequila.”
