Without Sam Phillips, there would be nothing.

Nicole Atkins New album ‘Drama’, her first in 6 years, out September 18 via Sun Records
NICOLE ATKINS
ACCLAIMED SINGER-SONGWRITER ANNOUNCES ‘DRAMA’, HER FIRST ALL-NEW FULL-LENGTH RELEASE IN OVER SIX YEARS
FIRST SINGLE ‘WHEN THE NIGHT FALLS’ OUT NOW
NEW LP PRODUCED BY WILCO’S PAT SANSONE WITH CONTRIBUTIONS FROM LONGTIME FRIEND CHRIS ISAAK, DR. DOG’S ERIC SLICK, AND MORE
‘DRAMA’ ARRIVES FRIDAY 18 SEPTEMBER VIA SUN RECORDS / WICKED GAME RECORDS
PRE-ORDER/PRE-SAVE AVAILABLE NOW
Nicole Atkins is proud to announce her long-awaited new album ‘Drama‘, arriving via Sun Records / Wicked Game Records on Friday, 18th September. The acclaimed singer-songwriter’s seventh studio album and first all-new full-length release in over six years, ‘Drama’ is heralded by the first single, ‘When the Night Falls’, available everywhere now.
“I got together with my old friend Emery Dobyns to write a song together,” said Nicole Atkins. “We had these chords, and the feeling from the music reminded me of something I would’ve written for my first album, Neptune City, and I thought about where I was back then. The toxic love affair. And tying it into who and where I am now, and being able to write a song about terrible love from a place of power. Some would call it growth. I’m just still in love with the ‘sound’ of heartache. It gets me like no other.”

Largely recorded live over four productive days in her current home base of Nashville, TN, with GRAMMY® Award-nominated musician/producer Pat Sansone (Wilco, The Autumn Defense, Robyn Hitchcock), ‘Drama’ sees Atkins exploring the isolation, separation, and loneliness of a long-distance marriage through her signature fusion of musical genres and intimate lyrical songcraft. The album came together at the behest of her close friend and touring partner Chris Isaak, who signed her to Sun Records as part of his strategic alliance with the historic label as both artist and curator of new projects with his new imprint, Wicked Game Records. Drama spans style and era with smart design and an irrepressible buoyancy, from the girl group rush of “Trippin’ On Teardrops” and Memphis soul-styled “For No One” to the James Bond-meets-Stevie Nicks noir of “Danny” and the wonderfully moody duet with Isaak, “Cue The Symphony.”
Accompanied by her touring band, guitarist John Paul Keith and drummer Danny Banks, with contributions by Sansone, in-demand drummer Eric Slick (Dr. Dog, Robyn Hitchcock, Brian Fallon), The Texas Gentlemen’s Dan Creamer, and Scottish troubadour Davey Horne, Atkins once again showcases her alchemical ability to transform myriad influences into singular sonic statements, leaning into the deeply personal in her ongoing quest to “write modern songs that could be part of the Great American Songbook.” Through it all, Atkins’s vivid, unabashedly dramatic voice flies far above easy comparison. Neo-classicist, retro-futurist, and transcendental medium – Dramamakes it plain that Nicole Atkins somehow remains all of those things while always wholeheartedly following her own muse.
“I’m not trying to rehash or celebrate some bygone era,” Nicole Atkins says. “I’m just taking what I like melodically from the past, and channeling it into my songs. I like to make them deeply personal. The question I come back to is – how do I make this sound exactly like me?”

"Baby Let's Play House" is a song written and originally recorded by #ArthurGunter in 1954 on the #ExcelloRecords label, and covered by #ElvisPresley the following year on #SunRecords. A line from the song ("I'd rather see you dead, little girl, than to be with another man") was borrowed by #JohnLennon for his #Beatles song "#RunForYourLife", released on #RubberSoul in 1965.

"Matchbox" is a song written and recorded by #CarlPerkins and released in 1957. #BlindLemonJefferson wrote and recorded a song entitled "Match Box Blues" in 1927, which is musically different but which contains some lyric phrases in common. "Matchbox" was recorded as a #rockabilly song by Carl Perkins in December 1956 and by fellow #SunRecords performer, #JerryLeeLewis – who played piano on the original track – in 1958. #SamPhillips.

JOHNNY CASH AND THE TENNESSEE TWO
Blue Train b/w Born To Lose
1962 U.S. 7” singleYou know it’s a great day when you find a pristine original Sun ☀️ 45 of your favorite Johnny Cash song.
When I was 13, back when I first started learning to play the guitar, one of my many uncles (my mother was the second youngest of 13 children), who was a huge Johnny Cash fan and a pretty good musician in his own right, taught me to play a few Johnny songs that had the chords that I knew how to play comfortably.
One of those songs was Blue Train, which 35 years later, is still my favorite Johnny Cash song.
The flip side here, “Born To Lose”, is pretty good too.
A stellar find for me.

More Charlie Rich from the Midnight Special. This is an excellent live version of his first hit, "Lonely Weekends", which originally came out on Phillips International (a subsidiary of Sun Records) in 1960.

I wrote about my trip to Memphis, TN to see Graceland, Sun Records, and Beale Street.

Spent yesterday in Memphis, Tennessee checking out Graceland, Sun Records/Studios, and Beale Street. So much early Rock & Roll history.
I liked the city and it makes me shake my head at the smack talkers about it. Yes, it is gritty and low income. I think most are uncomfortable about the majority African-American population which leads to the smack talk.
Definitely a city for people who love music and want to see some history.
