Miranda Lamber Relents and Lets Blake Shelton Play On One Song

Miranda Lambert and boyfrined Blake Shelton don't typically collaborate on each others albums, but on Miranda's upcoming album, Revolution, Blake will make an appearance or two.

Miranda tells CMT, "He did this work tape for me, and he was playing guitar for me on my computer. He started singing in the background, humming. And I thought it sounded really cool!" Miranda like the sound so much she asked Blake to do the same thing on the record. 
"We like to collaborate in an unconventional way, because we're so different, and we really want to keep our careers separate," Miranda said. "But since we worked together on this record, I thought it'd be cool to have him somewhere. He sang on 'Maintain the Pain' ... he's screaming in the background in the very end!"
Miranda is known for writing many of her own songs, but she says she'd love to write songs for other artists as well.  "I'd love to write for other people," says Miranda. "I have a lot of songs that I don't necessarily want to cut myself, that just aren't for my records ... but that I really want other artists to cut."
But as far as writing songs with Blake, Miranda says it usually only works if they start writing unexpectedly. "We've tried [to schedule time to write] before, and it didn't work," Miranda states. "If we schedule it, we normally don't end up doing it. But if it happens organically, it usually ends up good. He'll just be sitting there playing the guitar -- or I will -- and it will lead into a songwriting session. He has a bunch of guitars, and I have one at my house. So there's always one leaning in a corner, somewhere."
