In one of her three ACM performances last night (4/18), Miranda Lambert got to perform a song called "In His Arms" with friends Jon Randall and Jack Ingram from their new collaborative album The Marfa Tapes.
Miranda recently talked about how she got to know the guys, "Jack Ingram and Jon Randall are both long time Texas boy friends of mine. I grew up watching Jack play the Honky Tonks in Texas and following him around since I was 15 and I’ve known John for 20 years. We were on Sony together when we were both on a radio tour."
She added, "I just have a long history of friendship and they are two of my favorite artists and writers, and so we sort of started this little trio of songwriting together and have been doing it for six years."
