Get Hell On Heels

Pistol Annies, Miranda Lambert's new all-girl group with Angaleena Presley and Ashley Monroe, have released their debut album, Hell on Heels.

The ladies also came up with nicknames capturing what they individually brought to the group.

Miranda is known as "Lonestar Annie" since she hails from Texas.

Angaleena comes from a tiny town in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky called Beauty, which is why she's called "Holler Annie."  Ashley got the nickname "Hippie Annie" because of her peaceful outlook.

Pistol Annies was a name Miranda came up with after the three of them bounced around literally about a hundred possible names. At first they wanted to be the Calamity Janes, but a stripper owns that name, and she wouldn't give it to the group.

Miranda has been featuring Pistol Annies in her live shows for the past few months.
