The Marfa Tapes
Amazon, Apple Music, Spotify
For all the mythos of Marfa as hipster cowboy art colony, what the tiny West Texas destination offers is solitude, and a reset. That certainly draws songwriting partners Miranda Lambert, Jack Ingram, and Jon Randall, who retreat to the town repeatedly for inspiration and produce mega-hits like Lambert s Tin Man.
The Marfa Tapes offers something altogether different from the Texas triumvirate.
Reflective of the creative spark before the studio polish, each artist finds themselves. Lambert s superstar status doesn t distract from the calm twilight of the recordings, but rather reinforces her own grounded songwriting talent, while Ingram continues to mature beyond his Lone Star country roots with poignancy. Randall, best known as a guitarist (Emmylou Harris) and producer (Dwight Yoakam, Dierks Bentley), revels in the stripped-down acoustic camaraderie.
