NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Miranda Lambert has taken nearly three years to go “Platinum.” And we don’t mean it was a very slow dye job. “Platinum” is the title of her new album – and by time it drops in June, it will have been two years and eight months since her last project. Lambert says she wanted to take her time with this project, coming off an extended concert tour. She says it always seems that no matter how much time you take to do an album, you always feel rushed. She says she wanted to make sure that once the album was done, she would “never have a moment where you go, I wish we could change that or I wish we had a different song.” Lambert has Carrie Underwood joining her for one tune on the album, “Something Bad.” She says singing with Underwood is a little intimidating because she’s such an amazing singer.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) – John Denver never lived in West Virginia. But his song that name-checks the state is now one of West Virginia’s official state songs. The state legislature has adopted the 1970s hit “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” The song has been a part of West Virginia’s psyche for decades. Oddly enough, the effort to make Denver’s song a state song was launched by the widow of “Gilligan’s Island” actor Bob Denver – but the two Denvers aren’t related.
