The Marfa Tapes

The Marfa Tapes is a collaborative studio album by American country artists Miranda Lambert, Jack Ingram and Jon Randall. The album was released on May 7, 2021 through RCA Nashville. It is Randall's fourth, Lambert's eighth and Ingram's eleventh studio album. Lambert hinted at an upcoming project with longtime friends and collaborators Randall and Ingram via her social media accounts on March 2, 2021, before announcing The Marfa Tapes in the following days. The tracklist was announced, with Lambert's previously recorded songs "Tin Man" and "Tequila Does" both featured on the album, and the first new song "In His Arms" was premiered with a video on March 5. The album's style and recording process was a radical departure for Lambert in particular, whose voice on her own albums has been notably less raw. However, the change was praised by critics, who applauded her for both taking the musical risk, as well as all three artists for the album's content, which was noted for its high quality songwriting, substance, and lack of filler. It was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Country Album at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards.
