MUSIC NOTES
Attention Pistol Annie fans!
Miranda Lambert, Ashley Monroe and Angaleena Presley are giving fans an early listen to the album with an exclusive full album stream on Amazon.com. Starting today, fans can listen to all 12 songs in their entirety on http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1001176851.
"We are so ready for this album to be out and hear what y'all think about the music," said Miranda. "And when it's in stores, I'll be in there moving our record to the front of the shelf and puttin' everyone else's album behind ours," laughed Anagaleena. "And she will," added Ashley
On Tuesday, May 7, Pistol Annies will celebrate the release of Annie Up on the "TODAY Show" and that night, perform on the "Late Show With David Letterman," where they will sing their single, "Hush Hush." On Wednesday, May 8, the trio returns to “The View” where they will debut the sweet ballad and album's closing track "I Hope You're The End of My Story," a song that admittedly makes each sassy Annie cry.
While it was the three women who wrote every song on the album, a fourth Annie was there for all of it and is the inspiration behind the song, "Don't Talk About It Tina." "That would be 'Mother Bra'," says Angaleena. " I have a huge, industrial strength, four hook, thirty-six Double D, hideous 'Mother Bra' that has been on every one of our adventures," explains Angaleena. "We found her floating in the pool in Mexico, at the concierge desk at the hotel in Las Vegas, she has a mind of her own," said Ashley. "My friend Tina was on the road with us one weekend and Mother Bra was laying out on the stove and Tina said 'Oh my gosh whose bra is this,'" said Miranda." And I was laying in my bed and yelled, "Don't talk about it Tina, just look away," said Angaleena. "And so we started writing and the next thing you know we have a song about my friend Tina and 'Mother Bra," laughed Miranda.
Capitol's Lady Antebellum have partnered with digital and social game publisher Gameloft to provide content for The Oregon Trail: American Settler. The likeness of band members Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood serve as in-game quest givers, allowing players to watch music videos from On This Winter’s Night along with an exclusive welcome message. “I’m always looking for strategic branding opportunities," said UMG/Nashville VP/Digital Marketing Dawn Gates. "Working with Gameloft has provided an extraordinary platform for driving consumer awareness about Lady Antebellum and the On This Winter’s Night holiday album within a large and fast-growing digital media outlet.”
