For Nikki Lane, that descriptor seems to be “outlaw country” — a generally defensible expression, but one that can subtly imply an element of posturing, even posing. Neither word in that phrase does justice to Lane’s bold, idiosyn- cratic sound. She’s country by virtue of her places of origin as much as anything else; aside from a slight twang and a tendency toward wordplay, Lane just as readily resides in the worlds of rock ‘n’ roll, confessional singer-, and impeccably groomed girl- group throwbacks. As for the word “outlaw,” in this case that’s just a catch-all for tough-minded lyrics in which she aggressively pursues things she’s not supposed to want (see: “Sleep With a Stranger”) rather than staying safe or hoping something comes to her. There’s swagger to her lyrics — “It’s always the right time to do the wrong thing” — but it’s not preening so much as self- aware, with an all-important note of weariness. On her second album, All or Nothin’ — produced by ’ Dan Auerbach, because that’s the law nowadays — Lane worked with decades-old gear to produce a sound that sprawls across eras and pauses for the occasional wink. (This is, after all, a performer who also maintains a vintage-clothing store called “High Class Hillbilly.”) The effect never feels merely nostalgic, and it never seems insincere. Instead, All or Nothin’ simply sounds like the work of a performer who knows when to embrace her contradictions: classic and modern, iconoclastic and approachable, country and rock, urban and rural. That may make her some- body’s outlaw, but let’s get at least this much straight: Nikki Lane is nobody’s songstress.” - NPR.org, April 27 2014 Hear the full NPR First Listen of the album here: http://www.npr.org/2014/04/27/305657596/first-listen-nikki-lane-all-or-nothin Coming up...
