| Song For The Soundtrack: Right Time |
She's lyrically intoxicating, vocally exotic, visually stunning and a kindred spirit to Indestructible Machine-era Lydia Loveless.
The leggy Lane easily straddles the lines between longing and loneliness, lust and love, and the good and bad versions of each.
In her second full-length release, All Or Nothin', she throws down the thematic gauntlet in the opening line.
"Any day or night time is always the right time/Is always the right time to do the wrong thing."
She delivers with a voice that's part Wanda Jackson and a healthy splash of Loretta Lynn.
All Or Nothin' is produced by Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys and he duets with Lane on Love's On Fire. Musically, the mix combines hints of Chris Isaak atmospheres, murky Cramps rockabilly and the country flair that made Waylon an outlaw king.
Live, Lane generated even more electricity at the front of her crack touring outfit, who did not play with her on the All Or Nothin' album.
While she's still trying to find a radio home for her brand of outlaw country, Lane cuts an impression on record and in concert that runs deep.
Catch her this summer on tour with Social Distortion.
One of the favorite Ohio State vs. Michigan football fables is the 1968 game in Ohio Stadium when the Buckeyes were up 48-14 and Coach Woody Hayes legendarily told his team to go for a two-point conversion following a late-game touchdown.
When asked afterwards why he went for two, Hayes responded, "Because I couldn't go for three."
In honor of The Game, I vowed to go for at least two every day during Hate Week.
The Buckeyes won 42-28 and for Woody's sake I became a runner again.
