Where did we leave off<\/a> yesterday? <\/p>\n

Oh yes. It was Miranda Lambert talking about how she approached her new album Wildcard<\/em> a lot like her debut album Kerosene<\/em>.<\/p>\n

During her rare, hour-long conversation during the annual Country Radio Seminar on Wednesday (Feb. 19), Lambert reflected on all the music she\u2019s made since she signed her major label record deal. And how it wasn\u2019t all No. 1 hits right out of the gate. <\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t have my first No. 1 until \u2019White Liar,’\u201d she said of the song off her 2009 album, a good four years after her debut. \u201cI think with Revolution<\/em>, I realized that I was connecting with people. And I knew at the time, if I don\u2019t break through on this one, I never will. I sold over a million copies of Kerosene <\/em>and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend<\/em> and didn\u2019t have a song go past 12. I really needed this to happen. I remember feeling I really need this now. I got my foot in the door and thanked everyone for appreciating more than just my fiesty side.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s interesting because I\u2019ve had a career based on songs, not hits. The crowd doesn\u2019t know that \u2019Gunpowder\u2019 was 9 and \u2019Wagon\u2019 was 11. Nor do they care. Nor do I care. As long as they hear it, then that helps everybody. I can\u2019t play shows if I\u2019m not heard. I need them to hear new music, because they\u2019ve seen me several times. When they\u2019re weighing out, \u2019Do I go see Luke Combs or Miranda? I\u2019ve seen her several times.\u2019 He\u2019s new and he\u2019s great. And they only have money for one ticket,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s nice to have a new song \u2014 or seven \u2014 you can promote. That helps.\u201d<\/p>\n

When the conversation turned to meeting her heroes, Lambert said she\u2019d had a long list, and by now she\u2019s met almost of all of them. But this one time was almost too much. \u201cSinging with Loretta (Lynn) was very emotional for me. I cut a song<\/a> with her and Sheryl Crow, and I cried all day. I just couldn\u2019t believe I was going to be with the two of them all day. Loretta sat with me in her kitchen and told me real stories about her life. I\u2019ll never forget that day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then there was the first time Lambert met Dolly Parton. And the advice Parton gave her. \u201cI walked in the room when we were filming something for \u2019Dumplin\u2019 and she turned me around and said, \u2019Find your good light.\u2019 That was the first thing she every said to me. That was already great advice. Find your good light.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lambert\u2019s next stop is tonight (Feb. 20) in Anaheim, California. <\/p>\n
