    While the latter half of Wildcard constitutes a bit of a shuffled deck of genres, there’s enough of a kick to the album as a whole to warrant its title, and Lambert certainly has the chops to sell it.

    For an album named Wildcard, there doesn't seem to a standout track. There are some very songs with strong emotional appeal and literate, artful lyrics such as the reflective "Bluebird", the love story "Fire Escape", the teary "Dark Bars", and even the comic "Pretty Bitchin'".

    This album is different from Weight of These Wings, but it is still very good. It has a nice mix for everyone, including pop sounding songsThis album is different from Weight of These Wings, but it is still very good. It has a nice mix for everyone, including pop sounding songs (All Comes Out in the Wash), sassy fun songs (Too Pretty for Prison), and more traditional country (Tequila Does). All of the songs are well -written as Miranda’s songs often are, and include witty lyrics. I tend to enjoy the more country rock songs (Locomotive, Tequila Does, Holy Water) but damn if I don’t love Pretty **** Looking forward to diving into all the tracks, and seeing her for the first time in concert early next year. Everyone should definitely give this album a listen.… Full Review »

    Wildcard is the best album of 2019. Impossible to pick a favorite track, but highlights for me include Dark Bars, How Dare You Love and Track Record.
