An invitation only crowd filled the Ryman Auditorium last Thursday night (September 24) to hear Miranda Lambert’s new release, Revolution, which comes out today, September 29.

"We're gonna start a revolution! Are you with me Nashville?" Miranda asked, receiving a roar of approval from the crowd, which included family members and other visitors fro Texas.  In between cuts like “White Liar” and Virginia Bluebell” Miranda took time to talk to the audience about which were her favorites and why, according to The Boot.

"I promised my band I wouldn't talk very much but I feel like I need to tell you about some of these," Miranda explained. She then paused, adding with obvious delight, "Playing the Ryman is awesome!"

The singer called 'Makin' Plans' "the closest thing I'll ever get to writing a love song," and explained that 'Heart Like Mine' was a song she had to write. "Ashley Monroe and I wrote this one. I grew up in the Bible Belt and this song is about how I know in my life that Jesus us up there smiling down on me."

Miranda’s performance also included a Merle Haggard cut, "The Way I Am”, the Patsy Cline classic “Crazy” without benefit of a mic, receiving her second standing ovation, and Hank Williams' “Settin' The Woods on Fire" along with some of her earlier hits.
