When you listen to Nikki Hill’s debut album, there are a whole lot of references that literally jump to your face and ears. The names of Ike & Tina Turner, Barbara Lynn, Dinah Washington, Barbara George, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Carl Perkins come to mind. But Nikki Hill (I mean the band Nikki Hill) is more than the sum of their influences. In fact one can describe them with just one little single word. A word too often used to describe any kind of musician with a guitar that it had almost lost its meaning. This word is rock ’n’ roll.

Nikki Hill is one hell of a rock ’n’ roll singer and like Little Richard one of her most obvious influence (as proved by the cover and the title) she takes no prisoners. When she rocks, she’s like a storm and when she croons she puts all her soul and aims straight at your heart. Matt Hill, Nikki’s husband plays sharp guitar breaks that come like a second voice but also deliver a solid groove helped by Ed Strohsahl on bass and John Meyer on drums. /Fred “Virgil” Turgis

Nikki Hill lets her soul rip on her third LP, Feline Roots. This new collection bends through supercharged blues, punk, soul, revival tent gospel, and rockabilly shouts. Nikki has never been afraid to take the road less traveled, and it's clear with Feline Roots that she's living every word.

“If Tina Turner and Little Richard had a daughter and raised her with the help of uncles James Brown and Chuck Berry, she’d be like Nikki Hill.” -Minneapolis Star-Tribune

“A fiery performer, channeling some of rock & roll’s most heralded voices, revamping the squalls, screams and shouting-at-the-devil of rock’s pentecostal roots to a blazing new take that she can rightfully call her own, a soul that owes as much to AC/DC as Aretha.” — Okayplayer

“With a voice reminiscent of Etta James, the North Carolina-born and New Orleans-based Nikki Hill fronts a band soaked in driving, retro R&B…a sound that is equal parts raw energy and calculated homage.” — Utne Reader

Nikki Hill - Heavy Hearts, Hard Fists

Bitrate: MP3@320K/s
Time: 35:54
Size: 82.2 MB
Styles: Electric blues
Year: 2015
Art: Front

[3:16] 1. Heavy Hearts Hard Fists
[2:25] 2. Oh My
[4:06] 3. Struttin'
[3:12] 4. And I Wonder
[3:39] 5. (Let Me Tell You 'bout) Luv
[2:19] 6. I'm Gonna Love You
[4:05] 7. Hotshot
[2:41] 8. Mama Wouldn't Like It
[3:34] 9. Nothin' With You
[2:09] 10. Scratch Back
[4:22] 11. Twistin' The Night Away

Buoyed by her band's roaring boogie that's equal parts Staple Singers and AC/DC, the new album sees Nikki exude a self-assured swagger as her fiery rasp preaches the rock & roll gospel: late nights, hot licks, and intoxicating love.

Raised in the church choir and steeped in R&B and garage rock rumble, Nikki Hill is a spitfire with the soul-drenched voice of Etta James and the tattooed, beehived-hair aura of Cramps' guitarist Poison Ivy. 'Heavy Hearts, Hard Fists' is a showcase for Nikki's unfettered versatility, whether it's the debauched bluster of "Struttin'", the Stonesy barn-burning blues of "(Let Me Tell You 'Bout) LUV", or the touching soul ballad "Nothin' With You". Just a couple years ago, Nikki Hill was a bartender with an affinity for punk and a deep love for classic R&B. At her husband (and now guitar-player) Matt Hill's behest, she stepped out from behind the bar and onto the stage. The response has been ecstatic, and now the band tours the globe relentlessly, stunning audiences with their muscular sound, Matt's volcanic leads, and, of course, Nikki's inimitable charisma.
