Miranda Lambert can't miss at the moment. Her latest Four The Record is a fantastic album and definitely one of my favourites of 2011 even though I have only had it for a couple of days.

Four The Record was a slow builder with me, but Pistol Annies was a lot more immediate, I think Four The Record had to live up to Revolution, and that's a pretty high bar. FTR did get there though and it certainly is an album of the year.
