At 17 (while still in high school) she formed the Texas Pride Band and began gigging professionally, and later in 2001, with financial help from her father, she released an independent CD, Miranda Lambert, that showcased her songs, two of which, "Texas Pride" and "Somebody Else," actually entered the Texas music charts. In 2003 she finished first in the Texas auditions for the Nashville Star television show, moving to Nashville to appear on it, eventually finishing third in the competition, which led to a recording contract with Sony. Still only 21 years old, her first major-label single, "Me and Charlie Talking," was released in 2004, and the consequent album, Kerosene, for which Lambert wrote or co-wrote ten of the 11 tracks, appeared in 2005 on Epic Records, followed by Crazy Ex-Girlfriend in 2007. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide
