“We are deeply saddened by the sudden death of our band member, Chuck Goff,” Keith said in a statement on his website. “He was a close friend for over 25 years, the band leader and bass player. Our hearts and prayers go out to his family.”

Goff is credited for writing two of Keith’s hits, “You Ain’t Much Fun” and “Upstairs Downtown.” He created a signature bass through Dean Guitars.

“You can call him any time and get a laugh,” he said. “He ought to have his own radio show. He’s funny!”

Fox New’s stated the two-vehicle crash remains under investigation. Authorities say the driver of the second vehicle wasn’t seriously injured.

Miranda will choose the winning design, and in this preview clip, the ‘Fastest Girl in Town’ gets honest, offering her unabashed opinion about a slinky, strapless gray dress that has been created just for her. “I don’t know that the fabric on me would be super forgiving,” Lambert admits, clearly understanding what works — and what doesn’t — for her curvy figure.

“It doesn’t look like I could squeeze a Spanx under that very easily,” she points out.

Since she would have to wear it, it’s smart for her not to pull any punches or to be too polite when critiquing the dress.

However, co-judge and model Heidi Klum liked it, since it had no seams. So did fashion editor Nina Garcia, who said, “It has the support. It’s clean. It’s elegant. With your curves, you’re going to rock this dress.”

Lambert — who already looked hot with her blonde hair slicked back into a sleek ponytail and who was busty in a leather top — was somewhat swayed by the fashionistas. “Well, hell, let’s do it,” she tells them. So, she might very well choose that dress. Or not. You never know on ‘Project Runway.’

Miranda Lambert’s ‘Runway’ episode airs at 9PM ET on Lifetime.
