Goodnight Rhonda Lee
Goodnight Rhonda Lee is Nicole Atkins’ debut album for Single Lock. It was produced by the team at Niles City Sound (Leon Bridges) in Fort Worth, Texas and mixed by Ben Tanner in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Co-writers on the record include Chris Isaak and Jim Sclavunos (Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds). Nicole was a guest star on Cameron Crowe’s Showtime series Roadies, where she debuted material from this record. Nicole debuted even more from the record at SXSW 2017 before a monumental crowd opening for country star Garth Brooks. Nicole’s television appearances have included The Late Show with David Letterman, Conan, and Later… with Jools Holland, and she has been featured in dozens of magazines and newspapers, ranging from the New York Times to The Guardian (UK) to Time. She has toured internationally throughout the US and Europe, both headlining and also touring with Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Primal Scream and the Avett Brothers. “... a defining portrait of an artist whose grasp of the past creates ageless, enduring music for any year… A moving, intensely personal and wildly creative set that ranks as one of 2017’s finest works." - American Songwriter
Nicole Atkins combines her songcraft and formidable voice to great effect on new album Goodnight Rhonda Lee.
It's worth buying Goodnight Rhonda Lee just for first single, "A Little Crazy."
Atkins’s lyrics eschew metaphor for a more confessional mode, and her arrangements are punchy and direct.
