Man, reading the comments above was like visiting a Trumpist's Twitter feed.

New album is pretty good. Who is playing guitar, that dude is killing it.

Gonna pick this up when the vinyl comes out later this month.
Hell on Heels is so classic. I think it's weird there was a lot of criticism about the album's perceived glossiness and sheen bc it seems to me it would appeal to a lot of people who have issues with mainstream country music. The songs themselves are just a great mix of pensively sad and unabashedly outlaw.

and country music has had gloss and a sheen since the LBJ era

i can understand if people don't like certain production styles that make the music sound brittle or over-compressed but i think a lot of country production (this album included) is very warm and generous to the songs.
and separately, a lot of country music is where you want to turn if you miss hard rock chops from the '70s and '80s.

i feel bad every time this thread pops upi do not begrudge anyone their enjoyment of this band or their personas or production choices.
it's good that pistol annies are loved by people

imo I think Pistol Annies are a synthesis of all three artists and their styles, though i think for anyone I've ever tried to gateway-drug into this corner of country I recommend Angaleena Presley's solo albums, which are exceptionally good and far more low-key in their production and their eye is cast pretty strictly on small-town issues with a POV from a blue-state type who loves living in her red state.

the new album is kinda rootsy and doesn't really have much of an audible sheen except in that it's really well-recorded and the guitar tones kick ass

(i love sheen) (but also i think this album sounds really cool)
