Background and recording

Lane recorded the album with producer Dan Auerbach, the frontman of the Black Keys, at his studio "Easy Eye Sound" in Nashville.[1] Auerbach and Lane perform together on the album, in the duet "Love's on Fire".[1] Lane co-wrote all 12 of the album's tracks and producer Auerbach co-wrote 5.

Critical reception

According to Metacritic, All or Nothin' has a score of 79 out of 100, indicating generally favorable reviews from critics.[2] Thom Jurek reviewed the album for AllMusic and gave it 3.5 stars out of 5, writing that "Lane's songs and delivery are strong throughout All or Nothin'" and that on the album, "her vocals and arrangements co-exist to wed past to present both simultaneously and effortlessly."[3]

Chris Richards, writing for the Washington Post, compared the album's sound to Wanda Jackson, Mazzy Star, and Link Wray.[4] Jurek compared the album's song "Good Man" to the music of Lucinda Williams, who Lane has acknowledged is one of her major influences.[3] Holly Gleason compared All or Nothin' to the music of Dusty Springfield, Loretta Lynn and Jackie DeShannon.[5]

gollark: Hmm...
gollark: <@356209633313947648> ```- Fortunes/Dwarf Fortress output/Chuck Norris jokes on boot (wait, IS this a feature?)- (other) viruses (how do you get them in the first place? running random files like this?) cannot do anything particularly awful to your computer - uninterceptable (except by crashing the keyboard shortcut daemon, I guess) keyboard shortcuts allow easy wiping of the non-potatOS data so you can get back to whatever nonsense you do fast- Skynet (rednet-ish stuff over websocket to my server) and Lolcrypt (encoding data as lols and punctuation) built in for easy access!- Convenient OS-y APIs - add keyboard shortcuts, spawn background processes & do "multithreading"-ish stuff.- Great features for other idio- OS designers, like passwords and fake loading (est potatOS.stupidity.loading [time], est potatOS.stupidity.password [password]).- Digits of Tau available via a convenient command ("tau")- Potatoplex and Loading built in ("potatoplex"/"loading") (potatoplex has many undocumented options)!- Stack traces (yes, I did steal them from MBS)- Backdoors- er, remote debugging access (it's secured, via ECC signing on disks and websocket-only access requiring a key for the other one)- All this useless random junk can autoupdate (this is probably a backdoor)!- EZCopy allows you to easily install potatOS on another device, just by sticking it in the disk drive of any potatOS device!- fs.load and fs.dump - probably helpful somehow.- Blocks bad programs (like the "Webicity" browser).- Fully-featured process manager.- Can run in "hidden mode" where it's at least not obvious at a glance that potatOS is installed.- Convenient, simple uninstall with the "uninstall" command.- Turns on any networked potatOS computers!- Edits connected signs to use as ad displays.- A recycle bin.- An exorcise command, which is like delete but better.- Support for a wide variety of Lorem Ipsum.```
gollark: Okay, that is... probably a better idea, yes.
gollark: Anyway, <@178948413851697152>, please do rewrite that query if you have *better* ideas.
