Nicole Atkins' fourth album follows her move from New Jersey to Nashville. The singer-songwriter adds some country and soul flavor to her music on "Goodnight Rhonda Lee," with lyrics inspired by her newfound sobriety. She recruited members of the Dap-Kings to play on the new LP, which she told Rolling Stone took three years to write but just five days to record.
