Miranda Lambert has released the new song “It All Comes Out in the Wash,” the lead single from the CMA Award-winning performer’s upcoming seventh studio album.
Brighter and more upbeat than the bulk of Lambert’s 2016 double album The Weight of These Wings, “It All Comes Out in the Wash” is about life’s mistakes and heartbreaks and their relative impermanence. Over a breezy, acoustic guitar-driven groove, Lambert lists off a litany of mishaps from ketchup spills to drunk dials and more severe infractions like accidentally sharing someone’s pregnancy news or messing around with the boss at the workplace. Relax, she says, it’s not that big of a deal. “Take the sin and the men and you throw ’em all in and you put that sucker on on spin,” she sings, as Jay Joyce’s rock-influenced production twists in unexpected, delightful ways between her verses.
In economics, the law of diminishing returns states that there’s a point where the benefit gained from something becomes less than the amount of money or energy invested. My high school economics teacher used the example of workers in a factory. The benefit increases with each new iteration, but there comes a point oftoo much, and infinite additions eventually become exhausting. Workers in the factory start stepping on each other’s toes and turning in rushed work.
This is definitely not the case with Lil Nas X‘s chart-topping, record-smashing “Old Town Road.” Each new iteration of the single is more delightful than the last, and I frankly can never see this getting old. Lil Nas X wants Mariah Carey on a remix? Bring it on.Gordon Ramsay wants to try rapping? Pass him the mic.

There are few moments that are more significant in the lives and careers of country and roots musicians than making their debut appearance on the Grand Ole Opry. Often it’s artists in their 20s and 30s who are the ones who get that special opportunity, but at 72, and 50-something years deep into the music business, Ray Wylie Hubbard finally got his turn in the Opry circle Wednesday night, July 17th, 2019. It was courtesy of Pam Tillis.
“I want to get this next guest intro right because it’s so important to me,”Pam Tillis said after playing her own set on the famous radio show and stage.“This gentleman I’m about to introduce you to has fans as diverse as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Patty Griffin, Ringo Starr, Steve Earle, Lee Ann Womack … so many people know about this man and look up to him as the very epitome of a true artist, a true writer. He has influenced a generation of Texas musicians and songwriters. 55 years making music. Made is debut on David Letterman, and I said, ‘You know, Ray Wylie Hubbard, it is time that you played the Grand Ole Opry.”
