Nikki Lane was featured on CBS Saturday Morning this past weekend as part of their “Saturday Sessions” series, performing three songs from her acclaimed new album Denim & Diamonds: “First High,” “Try Harder” and “Denim & Diamonds.”
Released earlier this month on New West Records (stream/purchase here), the album continues to receive widespread critical praise…
“Lane is sharpest when she leans all the way into irreverence. She sings with the authority and weariness of someone who’s been through the wringer, the cool insistence of her voice giving her an air of earned wisdom.”—Pitchfork
“The result has the rock-country grit of Tanya Tucker and some harder-edged guitars while still keeping Lane’s signature sound fully intact.”—SPIN
“It shows Nikki Lane at her best, stepping towards a darker direction while keeping one foot planted in the country and roots music of her past.”—American Songwriter
“Her brash kiss-offs, lovelorn pleas, and plenty of that good old-fashioned American grit come out to play with producer Homme's thrashing rock and roll sensibility — a deliciously satisfying combo.”—No Depression
“Nikki Lane spent the last five years since the release of her breakthrough album, Highway Queen, searching for the right combination of confidants to help her realize the vision of the paradigm-spinning outlaw country songs on Denim & Diamonds. And it’s paid off.”—San Francisco Chronicle
In celebration of the new album, Lane is currently in the midst of an extensive North American headlining tour with dates through the winter—see full routing below and purchase tickets here.
