Hell On Heels

About

Miranda Lambert, Ashley Monroe, and Angaleena Presley formed Pistol Annies in 2011, and <i>Hell on Heels</i> instantly established them as a supergroup. The trio’s debut album took country's ideals of honest storytelling, rich harmonie, and gritty femininity in decidedly 21st-century direction. <i>Hell on Heels</i>’ bare-bones arrangements offered breathing space from bro country’s radio-dominating brawn, while its lyrics concisely chronicled the ups and downs of womens' real-life experience. <i>Hell on Heels</i> opens with its steely-eyed title track, a manifesto for the group both musically and lyrically: It smolders as the three declare themselves heartbreakers on a mission, out for the spoils—car, apartment, guitars—offered them by men who ultimately wound up not being worth the emotional effort. As they do on the rest of the album, Lambert, Monroe, and Presley weave their voices together as they engage in insouciant boasting. .
