Lambert has described Crisco more broadly as an effort to make country music feel both “familiar” and “fresh,” drawing on Glen Campbell, Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, while using strings more prominently than on her earlier records.

The collaboration arrives as Lambert maintains a major awards profile: she has seven CMA Award nominations, while Langley has nine nominations heading into the November ceremony, including recognition connected to their work on “Choosin’ Texas.”
Miranda Lambert and Ella Langley are reuniting for "Snakeskin Boots," the opening track on Lambert's new album Crisco, due October 2. Whiskey Riff called the retro-Western duet "Western Disco Perfection," featuring influences from Nancy Sinatra's "Bang Bang" and vintage cinema. Lambert described the song as "Thelma and Louise if they didn't drive off the cliff" — a story about two women making an escape.
The collaboration extends a creative partnership that already produced the chart-topping "Choosin' Texas." Crisco is Lambert's first studio album in nearly two years, produced through MCA with strings featured more prominently than her earlier records. Backstage Country reports "Snakeskin Boots" will premiere at country radio alongside the album's release.
Why Lambert Wrote It With Langley in Mind
Lambert co-wrote and co-produced "Snakeskin Boots" with Jesse Frasure. She specifically had Langley in mind because of their shared retro influences. uDiscover Music notes the song draws inspiration from vintage cinema, Nancy Sinatra's "Bang Bang," and the Studio 54 era — a "Western Disco" blend that perfectly matches both artists' styles.
The partnership runs deep. Lambert has co-written and co-produced Langley's album Dandelion, worked with her on "Butterfly Season," and collaborated on "Choosin' Texas." That Ericka Perry describes the opening track as a "retro-Western collaboration" that captures Lambert's broader vision: making country music feel both "familiar" and "fresh."
The Cryptic Teaser That Left Fans Guessing
On September 22, Lambert posted a mysterious video showing two pairs of boot-clad feet walking toward the camera. Fans immediately speculated about the featured artist. Whiskey Riff reported guesses ranged from Taylor Swift to Lainey Wilson, Kacey Musgraves, or Ella Langley. The reveal came days later: it was Langley all along.
What Crisco Means for Lambert's Sound
Crisco is Lambert's first full-length album in nearly two years. Beyond "Snakeskin Boots," the 12-track record includes her previously released duet with Chris Stapleton, "A Song to Sing." Lambert draws production inspiration from Glen Campbell, Dolly Parton, and Kenny Rogers — legends known for lush arrangements. Strings feature more prominently than on her earlier work.
The timing arrives as both artists dominate the awards circuit. Lambert has seven CMA Award nominations heading into November's ceremony, while Langley holds nine nominations — several connected to their work on "Choosin' Texas." uDiscover Music confirms "Snakeskin Boots" will premiere at country radio on October 2 alongside the album's release.
