Lambert, Randall Launch Big Loud Texas
• GRAMMY winners Miranda Lambert and Jon Randall have teamed up to launch their own imprint in partnership with Big Loud Records — say howdy to Big Loud Texas, a dedicated imprint of Big Loud Records. Lambert and Randall will be directly involved in signing and developing artists on the roster. Randall will also serve as President of A&R for Big Loud Texas while also contributing his expertise as a producer.
Longtime friends and creative allies, Lambert and Randall (pictured) notably collaborated on 2021’s GRAMMY-nominated The Marfa Tapes, a raw and intimate recording, together with Jack Ingram, with Randall also serving as a producer alongside Lambert and Luke Dick on her critically acclaimed 2022 album, Palomino.
“As a teenager chasing my dreams in the honky-tonks of Texas, Nashville seemed so far away,” Lambert said. “Every time I’m back home I get to hear the incredible talent our state produces, and I feel a responsibility to help get more of those Texas voices heard. I’m really excited to team up with my buddy Jon Randall and Big Loud to do just that. Get ready, y’all — we’re bringing even more Texas to town!”
Randall noted, “When I was a kid playing in bands and kicking around Texas, I knew that making music was all I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Since then, I’ve gotten to play with so many of my heroes produce legends and friends and travel all over the world… but all those roads lead right back home. I feel very blessed to share this full-circle moment with one of my best pals, Miranda Lambert, and help some other dreamers chase their song around the world.”
Big Loud CEO/Partner, Seth England remarked, “I’ve admired what Miranda and Jon have done — both as musicians and as champions of young talent — for many years, so it’s an honor to join forces in this way. One of the most important things to us at Big Loud is to align with cultural camaraderie. Texas exudes that spirit and no one knows that better than Miranda and Jon.”
