New Music Video Release
Carter Faith, Laci Kaye Booth, and Baby Nova have embarked on an exciting new chapter with the launch of their music video for the song “Pearl Handled Pistol.” Directed by Lily Nelson and Chase Denton, this cinematic piece transforms the song into a gripping tale of revenge, embodying the fearless essence of the track.
Suspenseful Storyline
The video begins with the trio relaxing in a roadside motel, where they smoke cigarettes and peruse a newspaper that carries the shocking headline of a murder. Instead of appearing distressed, the women remain unfazed, lounging by the pool and enjoying each other’s company as if nothing unusual has occurred.
Hints of a Dark Secret
As the narrative unfolds, various clues emerge, suggesting that the women might know more about the murder than they are admitting. A pearl-handled pistol, the victim’s wallet, and a blood-stained towel hint at their potential involvement. The climax occurs when they open the trunk of a vintage red Mustang, revealing what seems to be the victim’s body within.
Grave Digging Scene
The trio then ventures to a remote location, taking turns digging a grave, which they mark merely with a simple cross topped with a Stetson hat. This ambiguous ending invites viewers to speculate on the true events that transpired.
Song’s Message
The storyline of the video resonates with the chilling message embedded in “Pearl Handled Pistol.” Co-written by Faith, Booth, Jessie Jo Dillon, and Chris Tompkins, the song explores the repercussions of underestimating a strong woman, drawing parallels to The Chicks’ iconic track, “Goodbye Earl.”
Powerful Lyrics
The song opens with a clear warning: “Well my love comes with a warnin’/ And that’s a label you oughta read/ I’m a pearl-handled pistol/ Don’t you fool around with me.” The chorus showcases the artists’ distinctive vocal styles, blending Faith’s soft tones, Baby Nova’s rich voice, and Booth’s effortless harmonies, enhancing the song’s dramatic narrative.
Collaboration Highlights
Carter Faith shared that the idea for the song’s title came from Jessie Jo Dillon, and both she and Laci Kaye Booth were quick to get on board. Faith expressed her admiration for Booth, saying, “When I think of badass women in country music, Laci is always at the top of my list.”
Empowering Themes
Booth felt that the song should convey a strong sense of confidence in women. She stated, “Those kind of songs have always given me life through second hand confidence.” Baby Nova noted her excitement about joining the collaboration, calling it a dream come true to work with two of her favorite artists.
Album Information
“Pearl Handled Pistol” features on Faith’s deluxe album, Cherry Valley Forever, which expands her debut project, adding five new songs, including “Nothin’ Better To Do” featuring Wyatt Flores. Fans can catch Carter Faith as she supports Post Malone on his U.S. Big Ass Stadium Tour, with upcoming performances alongside Chris Stapleton, Kacey Musgraves, and Shaboozey before embarking on her own tour.
