    The Pistol Annies is a very Frustrating group. They make greats song (lyrics, voices, and instrumentals). Songs like "Unhappily married," "Sin coming on" and "Hush Hush," then the rest of the album is just "ok." Which would be fine you other artists but for them it seems effortless

    The songwriting paints in broader strokes than the hyper-specific character studies of the debut. What the Annies lose there they gain in fuller, more ambitious arrangements.

    They’re too big to fail though, so lightning half-strikes plenty here.

    What they might lose in flair, they gain in severity, perspective, focus and the strength of their connection to the well of deep sadness at the center of the country-music tradition.
