    When so many songs are clever rather than honest, Lane delivers no-nonsense reality.

    Tough and yet tender, sexy and yet seductive, All of Nothin’ appeals to all of your good senses, and is a wonderful testament of an artist who is very quickly coming into her own.

    This is tough-talking, hard-living stuff, but it's been infused with a welcome dose of 21st century sexual politics.

    The South Carolina native's sophomore platter and first for New West digs even deeper [than her debut].

    Lane’s songwriting is less cutesy than Musgraves’ though, and it gets to the heart of the matter with almost painful honesty.

    Between Lane’s sexed up sassy testifying on cuts like the opening “Right Time” and “Sleep with a Stranger” along with in the pocket production that walks a nifty tightrope between ’60s countrypolitan and ’00s gutsy Americana, this is a combination we’d like to hear more from in the future.

    Lane's songs and delivery are strong throughout All or Nothin'; they're more polished and crafted than those on Walk of Shame.

    She has the voice of a young Loretta Lynn. The stories about the drinking and her man also go hand in hand with Loretta's songs. A trueShe has the voice of a young Loretta Lynn. The stories about the drinking and her man also go hand in hand with Loretta's songs. A true country girl who does her country a little bit alternative or indie as peers such as Lydia Loveless does. Nikki Lane is a true country musician -- not one of those tacky artists like Miranda Lambert who like to mix their country with pop or whatever (Shania Twain comes to mind also) and it comes out sounding so plastic. This country music is pure and genuine.… Full Review »
