Mockingbird Lane by Danni Nicholls

Nominated for 'UK Album of the Year' at the 2017 Americana Music Association UK Awards.

"[Danni] possesses an old-school country voice as capable of a sumptuous Cline-like croon as it is of the husky intimacies of an Alison Krauss, and a warm, wry line in confessional songwriting. Mockingbird Lane was recorded in Nashville, which will struggle to produce many better albums this year.” Uncut (8/10)

“Mockingbird Lane is the perfect Americana release with elements of blues, jazz, soul, gospel and country" Get Ready To Rock!

“‘Mockingbird Lane’ is a fabulous record that is a testimony to Danni Nicholls’ rising talent. Her mastery of Americana is impressive…her songwriting is tight and authentic, and her vocals are raw and distinctive, bringing each song to life and letting us know exactly who’s singing it. Definitely one to watch as she spreads her wings.” For The Country Record

”…sultry vocals, majestic musicianship and songs strewn with the emotional strains of life.”
