Pistol Annies share their "Snow Globe"
"Snow Globe" is one of 10 original tracks written by the Annies (Miranda Lambert, Ashley Monroe, Angaleena Presley) that appear on their Christmas album "Hell of a Holiday."
The project also features their take on standards including "Sleigh Ride" and Merle Haggard's downer of a holiday song, "If We Make it Through December," plus a reimagined "Auld Lang Syne."
Pistol Annies will serve up "Pistol Annies Hell of a Holiday Special" hosted by Blair Garner and streaming on the Annies' Facebook page Dec. 15 at 8 p.m. eastern. Featuring performances and a sit-down with the trio, the event will also serve as a fundraiser for the Music Health Alliance.
Based in Nashville, MHA has provided free healthcare advocacy and support to more than 15,000 music industry members across 48 states in the non-profit's first eight years - songwriters, musicians, performers, producers, engineers, venue operators, artist managers, agents, publishers and business managers.
