Pistol Annies: Hell On Heels

Pistol Annies make all the right moves on their debut album, available as of August 23. The 10 songs on ‘Hell on Heels’ were sown somewhere in Miranda Lambert, Ashley Monroe or Angaleena Presley’s previous lives. While collaborating, they pull out and often expand upon the merciless details. It’s brutally honest, raw and intimidating from start to finish. The title track is quickly proven to be not just a gimmick, and while ‘Lemon Drop’ is more optimistic and good-hearted than the opener, songs like ‘Beige,’ ‘Bad Example,’ and ‘Housewife’s Prayer’ are increasingly dark. Each one cuts like a surgeon’s scalpel, with the latter opening with the album’s most memorable verse. “I’ve been thinking about setting my house on fire / Can’t see a way out of the mess I’m in and the bills keep getting higher / All I need is a match and a gallon of gas / God I’m getting tired / Gonna set this house on fire.” ‘Lemon Drop’ shouldn’t be overlooked amongst the attitude of these other four songs on the first half of the album. The chorus of this song is a perfect example of what these women do so well. Their songs tell complete stories in very few words. Mood, music and pronunciation fill many of the gaps, while the listener can’t resist coloring in the rest. “My life is like a lemon drop / I’m sucking on the bitter to get to the sweet part / I know there are better days ahead.”...
