I Done Made The Devil A Deal

Pistol Annies “Hell On Heels”

Cold-blooded country pop. This song benefits from being sung by a trio of vocalists – it might be a bit too static with one singer, but the dynamic improves the piece on a line-to-line level. The Miranda Lambert parts are most compelling, mainly because she conveys the least compassion for her character’s mark, but I think the relative sweetness of Ashley Monroe and the sassy tone of Angaleena Presley balances it all out. It’s a dark fantasy, but the suggestion of three separate faces for the same character adds a touch of humanity to what could just be cartoonish cruelty.
