All Kinds of Kinds is a country song by Miranda Lambert from her 2011 album Four the Record. It was released June 24, 2013 as the fifth and final single. Written by Phillip Coleman and Don Henry, the song celebrates the many kinds of people who keep the world turning, with examples like a dog-faced boy, a cross-dressing congressman, and a can't-help-herself pharmacist. The final verse focuses on the narrator. It was recorded in 2011, produced by Frank Liddell, Glenn Worf, and Chuck Ainlay, and runs 4:26. The track is in C major with a 3/4 rhythm and features backing vocals from Stoney LaRue.
