Metalheads Respond to Pistol Annies

i feel bad every time this thread pops up
i 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)
