(1888PressRelease) March 04, 2011 - Dallas - After you've launched your first headlining tour, earned major Grammy and Country Music Association awards, and topped the charts with your third No. 1 album, what can you do for an encore? If you're Miranda Lambert, the uncontested Queen of Outlaw Country who's gone platinum three times, the answer is simple: You grace the cover of Cowboys & Indians, The Premier Magazine of the West.

Lambert talks about everything from her earliest gigs in rough-and-tumble Texas honky-tonks to her upcoming marriage to country music artist Blake Shelton in the April issue of Cowboys & Indians, available on newsstands everywhere March 2.

"I think I have a really strong female fan base," Lambert tells C&I writer Joe Leydon, "because I sing about empowerment of women. Not in an against-men kind of way, but just about being strong in who you are as a woman.

"And I think that's good because my mom taught me confidence growing up. You know: 'Be confident - you can do anything you want to do.' And not every girl's mom tells her that. And so I try to have that message, for young girls especially. ... I just love singing about that. Because that's how I feel - I'm a very confident person."

Also in the April issue of C&I: John Schneider, the multitalented actor who charmed millions as a hero of The Dukes of Hazzard, discusses his latest project, Doonby, an independently produced feature film about an amnesiac drifter who seeks clues to his identity in a small Texas town. Schneider plays the title role in the mystery-thriller and describes his character as "a good guy with an edge" who learns the hard way about "the mixed results of good intentions."

But wait, there's more: Golf writer Dan Gleason takes readers on a tour of the best and most scenic courses in the West, cowboy poet Red Steagall chats with master spur- and bit-maker Jerry Cates, C&I contributor David Hofstede profiles reality TV cowboys Cord McCoy and Denny Chapman, champion bareback rider Clint Cannon talks about being famous all over Europe because of a popular documentary, and photographer Wade Livingston showcases the finest Western spring fashions in the heart of the historic Fort Worth Stockyards.
