Nikki Lane is one ballsy, badass babe. Her latest release All or Nothin' has been on repeat in my car and at my desk for a couple weeks now. And when it's not being played, I'm most liking singing along to it in my head. Sometimes out loud too. I swear these songs get so stuck in my head and that's not always a good thing. I find myself singing "tonight would be a good night to sleep with a stranger" out loud in public sometimes. Like at work. Or walking into my family reunion. Totally appropriate places like that.
"Sleep With A Stranger" was the first song to hook me, and I don't care how much of a prude you are, you can't help but chuckle at this one and kind of wish you were ballsy enough to admit that you just sometimes have those days. Lane's honesty in every song is so forthright that it grabs you when you least expect it. Every song is so raw and real. A different song tends to grab my attention every time I play this CD and it's one of those that I can listen to front to back, over and over. Not just pick and choose a song. I can relate to so many and then others just have this dreamy, vintage quality that I can't get enough of. The songs range from sad and lonely to setting your man straight and everything in between.
Seriously check this out. I can't get enough and I think the more I listen, the more I love it. I have a feeling this chick is about to get huge.
Oh and PS - it even passes the Elizabeth test. I'm pretty open minded to music, but Elizabeth is not. ESPECIALLY when it comes to female country music. She seriously likes like ONE female singer. So this is HUGE.
