Natalie Hemby Pins And Needles (CD)

(Fantasy) 11 traclks, digisleeve

Known for her eclectic sound and storytelling that has earned her eight number one singles, Hemby explores the full range of her musical talent, encompassing influences from Tom Petty to Sheryl Crow to the early 90's rock and roots she grew up with - all with unparalleled individuality. In the 11-track collection, Hemby delivers unconventional lyrics along with her ingenious choice of words, catchy anthems to heartbreaking ballads, sharp-tongued and astute swagger to profound rockers. Hemby creates songs that feel like precious moments that are fondly remembered.

"Pins and Needles is the record I never had the chance to make but always wanted to," Hemby adds. "It's the sound of the late '90s, the sound of my young adulthood."

Like Bonnie Raitt a generation earlier, Hemby is reaching the pinnacle of her artistry in her forties after decades of building an incredible presence in the music industry on the album produced by her husband Mike Wrucke (Miranda Lambert). The album also features co-writes with fellow artists such as Miranda Lambert, Maren Morris, Brothers Osborne, Aaron Raitiere and others, as well as songwriting heavyweights such as Daniel Tashian, Barry Dean and others.
