Angaleena Presley first came to widespread attention as one third of the vocal group the Pistol Annies, along with Ashley Monroe and the country star Miranda Lambert. Rock critic Ken Tucker says Presley's new album, "Wrangled," has a lot of criticism, overt and implied, about the current state of country music, even as it makes the musical case that Presley deserves to be a star in the industry she's criticizing. (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "OUTLAW") ANGALEENA PRESLEY: (Singing) The grass looks greener. The money does too. It sure looks easier for a chosen few. Mama always said God broke the mold when he made me. And I've spent my whole damn life trying to fit back in. I don't want to be an outlaw. KEN TUCKER, BYLINE: I don't want to be an outlaw, Angaleena Presley sings on her new album, continuing her thought with - I want to be a straight-shooting, highfalutin rider on the hit parade. Yes, Presley
