Roughly a week ago Nicole Atkins released a "November Rain" duet with Mark Lanegan. According to Stereogum: "Atkins and Lanegan’s “November Rain” cover turns the song into a slow-cooking country-rock duet. The Screaming Trees singer’s signature grizzled, gothic baritone makes an ideal complement to Atkins’ sweet high-pitched twang.” Check out the song here:

The Jersey-bred, Nashville-based theatrical pop singer-songwriter Nicole Atkins devotes much of her fourth album "Goodnight Rhonda Lee" to emotional excavation without ever assuming the subdued posture people might expect from a work of disclosure. In the press materials accompanying the album, she wastes no time establishing that the 11-song set depicts high-stakes personal struggles. Only Atkins doesn't treat getting sober and navigating major life transitions, like getting married and moving 900 miles away, as a somber affair.

Go check her out in December if you can. If you can't: stay tuned for spring European touring..
