Nikki Lane - Denim & Diamonds

Denim & Diamonds finds Nikki Lane kicking things into high gear, blending her outlaw country roots with a tougher, more rock-driven edge. From the opening moments, the album hits with a strut—revved-up guitars, driving drums, and a swagger that feels both gritty and confident.

Produced by Joshua Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), this 2022 release expands Lane’s sound without losing the sharp storytelling and attitude she’s known for. Tracks like “First High,” “Born Tough,” and “Black Widow” balance heartfelt reflection with a defiant, take-no-prisoners spirit, while the overall sound nods to the raw energy of 70s rock.

Pressed on vinyl, Denim & Diamonds is a bold, dynamic record that feels both familiar and refreshingly new.
