Miranda Lambert Debuts ‘Saucy’, Previously Unreleased ‘Postcards’ Track

Miranda Lambert gave fans another sneak peek at her Postcards from Texas album over the weekend.

During a surprise performance at BBQ and live music venue Stubb’s Austin, the singer performed a previously unreleased song called “B–ch on the Sauce,” one of the tracks from her new album.

Drinking a beer in her home state provided the perfect backdrop to perform the new song, as “B–ch on the Sauce” is all about making bad decisions, with a little liquid courage.Light up that cigarette and it’s like / Oh, s–t, here comes the problem“, Lambert sings in a fragment of the song.

“Everything about you says, “Don’t do that” / But the devil on my shoulder says, “Don’t look back,” The text continues.

Lambert’s pop-up was a very special show, and not just because it was a much more intimate venue than the larger venues she’s used to playing. Stubb’s Austin — located in Austin, Texas — is also where she played her first-ever showcase as an emerging artist.

“Almost exactly 20 years ago to the day (Aug. 28, 2004) I played my first major label showcase here,” the singer wrote in a separate Instagram post. “I still have the same fire as I did 20 years ago and I’m sure you do too.”

The moment when things came full circle was fitting for this point in Lambert’s career, as Postcards from Texas will be her first album since leaving her label of two decades, Sony. She has hinted that another new song from the project — the previously released “Dammit Randy” — was inspired in part by her decision to leave her longtime label.
