Miranda Lambert made her third appearance on Austin City Limits in an episode that aired on Nov. 3. The Texas songbird treated fans in attendance and viewers at home to a 13-song set, including âKerosene,â âVice,â âWe Should Be Friendsâ and more.
The highlight of the show was Mirandaâs stripped-down solo performance of âTin Man,â which is nominated for Song of the Year at the CMA Awards. Before beginning the acoustic rendition, Miranda credited her co-writers on the songâJack Ingram and Jon Randallâwith helping her create something special.
âI wrote this song with two of my best friends that are from Texas as well, Jack Ingram and Jon Randall,â said Miranda. âI think we all needed to write this song. At the time that we wrote it, we all sort of took equal parts in each otherâs pain and put it down on paper and on a record, so I recorded it but I wanted to do it by myself [tonight] because I feel like thatâs where it startsâwith a song and a guitar and a person and a girl and some emotions, so Iâm going to leave it there tonight.â
