User Album Review
The secret weapon in the fabulous trio Pistol Annies (alongside bona fide superstar Miranda Lambert and terrific singer-songwriter Ashley Monroe), Presley has made an album that is as welcome as a spring thaw. Variously a rumination on social inequality (the autobiographical title track), gender politics ("Knocked Up") and mundane, existential angst ("Grocery Store"), American Middle Class is a hugely compelling record on an intellectual level — but that wouldn't mean all that much if the songs and performances weren't so addictive. Though the occasional use of spoken word on the record jars uncomfortably, this debut is about as accomplished as one could reasonably expect. This coal miner's daughter from Kentucky (true story) has some hard-won wisdom to share and the voice to tell it. --- exclaim.ca
