Artist Spotlight: The Pistol Annies

Without even knowing who they are they sound pretty hard core right? And even "Bad Ass", though writing that makes me feel quite awkward. This is a group of three women who can take us back to the good old country music. In the group there is Miranda Lambert (closest), Ashley Monroe (far left), and Angaleena Presley (center). I am thankful to be able to say that I have seen them in concert and they were amazing, a highly recommended show.

These ladies are beautiful, curvy and proud of it. Their voices are something you don't hear everyday and they really get into your soul. They love glitz, glam, and guns. They are good hearted women who don't mind getting into trouble every once and while. And each Annie has her own identity, Holler Annie (Angaleena), Hippie Annie (Ashley), and Lone Star Annie (Miranda). All three women are from different parts of the south and they each bring their southern backgrounds to their music. As most know Miranda has had her own personal success after taking third on Nashville Star. And over the last 9 years her music has only grown more and more popular. With her edgy country style, that is refreshingly different than many other country singers. And adorably enough, a little over a year ago Miranda married Blake Shelton. Though Ashley has had a few country songs out a few years ago, she never made it big on her own. And Angaleena was in the same boat. So when Miranda put the three of them together, they made magic. Their songs are so sassy that you can't stop listening. And the songs cover topics from the hunting husband, disrespectful family, God, financial struggles, pregnant and getting married, alcohol and cigarettes, getting back at the guy who has screwed you over, and housewife troubles. All of these songs are written by the three of them and if there is ever outside help it comes form Blake who they call Pistol Andy. But now I have decided to let their music speak for itself. Because these women have a lot to say, and even though we may not always agree with what they are singing about you just can't help but laugh and sing along.
