Miranda Lambert launched her “Roadside Bars and Pink Guitars” tour at Mohegan Sun Arena on Friday night, the first of a two-night stand at the Connecticut casino.
Lambert delivered a fiery 90-minute set for a rowdy gathering that was punctuated by a mid-show intrusion by her side project Pistol Annies.
Backed by an eight-piece band, Lambert took the stage to “Locomotive” and chugged right into “Love’s Given Up On Me,” squeezing in just enough banjo and pedal steel for these rock songs to qualify as country.
This was the first night of barnstorming tour that will cover 25 shows from now through Thanksgiving to support Lambert’s upcoming release “Wildcard.”
An all-female tour package (openers were Elle King and Caylee Hammack) is unique enough for Lambert to comment from the stage how difficult it was to put together and how appreciative they all were for the reception.
Regardless of genre or gender, Lambert has long been one of the surest bets on the live performance circuit and more than lived up to that reputation on Friday.
Lambert remains a breath of fresh air in the barren wasteland of country music faux cowboys with their song-factory churned red-dirt-road, long-neck-bottle songs.
She moved seamlessly from the wild fun of “It All Comes Out In the Wash,” to the poignant ballad “Over You" and managed to fit a little bit of both in “Heart Like Mine."
