Miranda Lambert - Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

It took a few listens, and I was pretty sceptical after the first spin, but I've been won over by this one. The rockers may sometimes veer a bit close to Bon Jovi territory and the ballads on occasion tend rather too much towards the glossy and the schmaltzy, but for all of that, Lambert can sing and the songs are strong, and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is a more than solid contemporary country album.
