Miranda Lambert teams up with Jack Ingram, Jon Randall for 'The Marfa Tapes'

Jack Ingram, Miranda Lambert, and Jon Randall just released a new song from their forthcoming album The Marfa Tapes (due out May 7) titled “Anchor.” Of the track, Ingram stated, “You know that feeling when someone pulls you in so deep that you never want to come back. You just want them to hold you and never let go. There’s a beautiful freedom in that and somehow it feels like you are flying. That’s an anchor and you're lucky if you found one.”

Last month, the trio shared the album opener “In His Arms,” which they will perform for the first time ever Sunday during the “56th ACM Awards” live on CBS (8:00 p.m. EST / 7:00 p.m. CST).

Heard in its original stripped-down state, the trio also revisited “Tin Man” for the first time since it’s whirlwind run up the charts and slew of award nominations, as well as a win for ACM Song of the Year.

“Am I Right Or Amarillo ” is out now as well along with the accompanying video. Of the track, Randall stated, “‘Am I Right or Amarillo’ was a Jack Ingram line. I think we were talking about the most time we’ve ever spent in Amarillo was at the truck stop. We just started riffing on the title and a cheating song showed itself. We all miss country cheating songs so we just went with it. It is really more of a bluegrass kind of thing.”

Out on May 7 through Vanner Records/RCA Nashville, The Marfa Tapes is a collection of songs written and recorded together in the tiny, middle-of-nowhere town of Marfa, TX. Barely a dot on the map, Marfa is an eccentric outpost in the midst of a vast expanse of nothingness, the perfect place to lose - or find - yourself.

For Lambert, Randall, and Ingram, it’s both. Over the past several years, the desolate location has become a songwriting haven for the trio, yielding both massive hits and profound personal growth. When they returned for five days this past November though, they came not to write, but to record, capturing a new album inspired by the stark beauty of west Texas and the deep, lasting bonds the three have forged there. It was recorded raw and loose with just a pair of microphones and an acoustic guitar.

The trio recorded much of the album outdoors, inviting the ambient sounds of the desert to seep into their live, bare bones performances. While a couple of the tracks may already be familiar to listeners - “Tin Man” as well as fan favorite “Tequila Does” - the vast majority of these songs have never been heard outside of Marfa.
