Known for the versatile sonics and storytelling that earned her eight #1 singles, Hemby explores a full range of her musical gifts, spanning influences from Tom Petty to Sheryl Crow and the early 90’s rock and roots she was raised on — with incomparable individuality. Across the 11-track collection, Hemby delivers unconventional lyrics along with her ingenious turn of phrase, ear-worm anthems to heart-rending ballads, acid-tongued and sharp-witted swagger to deep-grooved rockers. Hemby creates songs that feel like precious moments to remember.

“Pins and Needles is the record I never got the chance to make and I always wanted to,” adds Hemby. “It’s the late 90’s sound, which is the sound of my young adult life.”

Like Bonnie Raitt a generation before, Hemby is reaching the pinnacle of her artistry in her 40s, after decades of establishing an incredible presence in the music industry on the album produced by her husband Mike Wrucke (Miranda Lambert). The album also features co-writes with fellow artists Miranda Lambert, Maren Morris, Brothers Osborne, Aaron Raitiere and more, as well as songwriting heavy hitters like Daniel Tashian, Barry Dean and others.

Pins and Needles is out now on CD and limited edition “clear smoke” colored vinyl, available exclusively at independent record stores, as well as on standard black vinyl. And because she’s so dang nice, Natalie signed copies of the Pins and Neeldes LP jackets for us, so while supplies last copies of the vinyl will arrive autographed by Ms. Hemby! (Please note, the CD is NOT signed.) Due to the special nature of this release, autographed albums are limited to one (1) per person / household.

Preorders are shippin out from Grimey’s on Friday, December 3rd, and albums are also now available for local pickup.
