Metalheads Respond to Pistol Annies

that would be Big & Rich and they own Yob
let's hear them write a song as good as Wild West Show.

Yeah, honestly -- I listen to tons of metal, and most of my favorite albums last year were metal albums, but call me when a metal band makes an album as good as Horse Of A Different Color. It's been what, a quarter century now since any have?

Plz text me your number so I can call you thousands of times also plz text me a time machine.

horseshit. PA = Great!

last undeniably great metal record? um AFD, maybe? oh, wait, that's just hard rock now, right? never mind then.

Horseshit, PA? I thought that was Taylor Swift's hometown.

if you think there's been no great metal albums in the past 25 years then you're nuts

i. am. nuts.

glad we cleared that up.

Miranda Lambert, Ashley Monroe and Angaleena Presley, a.k.a. the Pistol Annies, will commemorate Record Store Day with the vinyl release of their critically acclaimed album, Hell On Heels. Released in August of last year, the album has already yielded a Gold single with the title track.

In addition, there’s a widget available at http://www.tweematic.com/pistolannies/ that features an animated record player where fans can listen to the album with the “fuzz and crackle” feel of a well-loved and worn vinyl record. By sharing the widget, fans are automatically registered to win an autographed copy of the album and a Sony USB Stereo Turntable to play it on. Fans can find a list of participating independent record stores on the site as well.

“The music of the Pistol Annies is the three of us truly being ourselves—not only in our songwriting and storytelling, but also in the way we perform as a team. We wanted to make music that people talk about but might not want to admit and it’s the kind of raw and honest country music that deserves to be on vinyl,” said Miranda.

The trio was born during a songwriting session with Lambert, a.k.a. “Lonestar Annie” and Monroe, a.k.a “Hipppie Annie.” While writing and sharing stories, Monroe decided that Lambert and Presley, a.k.a “Holler Annie,” needed to meet, and a midnight phone call with the three of them launched the group. The three of them wrote and co-wrote every song on the album and were joined by Pistol Andy, a.k.a Blake Shelton, on the song “Family Feud.”

Honestly though I'm pretty used to ilm championing one or two shitty new popular country records a year by now

RIP those one sub brooks and dunn dickheads who had the cowboy rapper

truth bomb re: ILM of a several years ago

So glad you no longer have to put up with a few critics with different taste than you. It must have been hell for you feeble minded fucks coming on this message board and being FORCED to buy Big'n'Rich CDs by Eddy & Kogan or whoever.

lol u mad doggy

must be hell for you to put up w feebs like me

so Neil Young mentions driving down country roads listening to this album on Rhapsody. He loves it ("Those girls can sing!").

Nice!

for tradition's sake, not because i am a metalhead or the following comment has anything to do with pistol annies, but i'm gonna revive to say one thing:

eric church is boring (not talentless, just BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGG)

that's all, carry on

ha -- Eric Church's Chief is my top 2011 recurrent. I thought I didn't give a shit abut Mellencamp/Stones gee-tar raunch in 2011 until "Drink in My hand" came along.

Just like Pistol Annies, I don't begrudge anyone their preferences, but if Eric Church were a store, I would not shop there. For anything.

I would shop there to buy presents for Alfred.

then we'd get a beer.

yep. Sounds like a plan next time I'm in South Florida.

ll otm

Eric Church is good times

I am deeply amazed that I have lived to see the day when ILX is repping for Eric Church tbh.

I remember kind of liking the song 'Homeboy' bcz of the lead guitar in it, and then gr80 posted it in the 'is this racist?' and I just went u_u

I suppose "Homebody" codes racist because the narrator is saddened -- that's key, I think, cuz Church sings it without anger -- by what his boy has become, but tonally it's more complex.

*Homeboy

Ha that was not the reading that song received in that thread

oh yes I know

New album available for pre order on itunes.

For the time being, I'm imagining that "Annie Up" is a nod to The Slits.

"Workin' Man" on the new album is almost definitely their most metal song fwiw (though not nearly the record's best track -- in fact, I'm not even sure I like it much.)

With the release of the May 7 album, fans of vinyl music will also be able to Annie Up anywhere vinyl is sold

vinyl music just sounds better

lol vinyl music
aim better, pistol annies copy writers!

― how's life

see i was thinking MOP

Lol

New album is pretty great!

unhappily married is an early stand out

it takes a while but yes it's quite good

Agreed on Unhappily Married.

the album kinda flamed out for me by the third or fourth day, solid but not outstanding somehow.
Brandy Clark is still worth a spin though. No idea why this isn't a hit:

holy shit i did not realize this was out

hush hush

OK hush hush is awesome

God I love these ladies

I Feel a Sin Comin On ... :o

"Don't Talk About Him, Tina" is my jam.

I really like this album!
