Whiskey-bent rejection, suicide trains, liquor store robberies, dried up mining towns, and leaving, leaving, leaving songs in the Americana tradition.

notes

With a voice that brings even the rowdiest biker bars to silence and awe-a voice that was discovered in the hills of West Virginia-newcomer Erin Condo shows a strength and talent found in the most seasoned performers and songwriters.

Originally from the small town of Perryville, Maryland, Erin has lived in Oregon, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Guatemala. Erin is currently living in Austin, TX and is quickly becoming a frequent performer at dance halls and venues around central and southern Texas.

These are the songs of the morning after, the hangover from an ill-fated relationship that lasted too long (or not long enough) or after a long night of drinking that you want to forget but can't get out of your mind.

The result-Leaving Songs-eleven original songs performed by Erin and some of the best talents that you haven't heard of-yet. Produced by the Mighty, Mighty Wiggus, Bob Klotz, and Erin Condo, this debut features the musical genius of Mason Neely, Bill Stetz, Dawn Kinnard, Greg Klyma, Rev. James A. Harton, and Richard Sleigh.

In this stunning debut, you'll hear everything from twin fiddles in the most traditional sounding country song, to a mellotron as the back drop for an all-girl robbery in small town.

Erin is currently playing around Texas with lead player Scott Martin (Gary P. Nunn, Bill Chambers, John Arthur Martinez), who accompanies on dobro, pedal steel, and guitar; and bass player David Carroll (Sisters Morales, Susan Gibson).

  • I'm sorry, but I neglected to give the album 5 stars. Could that be corrected? Thanks. -Neil

  • Take it from me...

    As a physician I prescribe this CD to all of you. Get a copy and swallow it... now!

  • This Collaboration Proves Worth the Wait!!!

    The CD has remained in the player for the past month with no plans for pressing eject. Our town was blessed with her talent for too short of time, but at least we are able to reminisce through this spectacular debut!!!

  • Solid songs begging to be played over and over. Each week I find a new favorite
    author: Elaine M.

    In this world of self-produced CD's, this album is a stand-out, creating a new standard whereby to judge all others. Each song is carefully crafted, inviting you to sing along while playing it loudly in the car or, if you're not a auto-star, just sit back and enjoy the tasty guitar tones, the wailing harp, and the masterfully-produced strings, keyboards and percussion. Each listen, you will find a different song that moves you in a new way--good luck picking a favorite--and you'll never grow tired of Erin's intoxicating voice.

  • Hits me just right

    I throughly enjoyed Leaving Songs. The content and manner for which they are sung really affect me. I cry every time I hear Nothing New.
