The Pistol Annies consist of songwriters Ashley Monroe and Angaleena Presley; and Miranda Lambert, the CMA Female Vocalist of the Year in 2010 and 2011. The group made their debut at The Academy of Country Music - Girls Night Out, on April 4, 2011. Their CD was released on August 23rd, and opened at #1 on the Billboard Country Chart, and #1 on iTunes. The Pistol Annies made appearances on Miranda Lambert's Tour in 2011. Lambert's 2012 Tour begins in Rockford Illinois, in January. "Hell on Heels" was written by the Pistol Annies and the video was produced by Becky Fluke. Here's a video of Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood opening the 2011 CMA Awards. [YT="CMA Awards"]ZDfe9i3bJeM[/YT]
You would probably be surprised that a chinaman from Canada already knew all that. I heard their Hell on Heels song during that Girl's Night Out concert. I wasn't overly impressed with it, but any group with Miranda Lambert and Ashley Monroe is gonna be at least decent. I am literally quite shocked Ashley Monroe isn't a bigger star than she is. She's got the voice, looks, talent, etc. I'm thinking maybe she's just getting lost in the shuffle because she's a blonde country singer, and there are about a billion of those in Nashville. One of my favorite songs from her...

WHY ISN'T SHE MORE FAMOUS?????
