Trim the tree and hang the lights this Christmas with Pistol Annies and their festive new album Hell of a Holiday, available now. Listen here.
Fans got a preview of the project earlier this month with the “major bop” (Country Living) “Snow Globe,” a “wistful, sweet holiday track” (Billboard) that features “a rhythm that bounces with early-rock-n-roll joy and a smiling, sugar-sweet vocals from each singer” (Sounds Like Nashville).
“Snow Globe” is one of 10 original tracks written by the Annies (Miranda Lambert, Ashley Monroe, Angaleena Presley) that appear on the album, all full of their signature winking humor, while also honoring the spirit of the season.
The project also features their take on standards including “Sleigh Ride,” and Merle Haggard’s “If We Make it Through December,” plus a reimagined “Auld Lang Syne.” Photographer and artist Gina Binkley created the striking cover artwork.
