Stuart A. Staples Alternative / Indie Rock Leaving Songs is a collection of tracks written over the last year and includes some of Stuart's strongest since Tindersticks' “Curtains”. With the potential to create something very special, Stuart headed for Mark Nevers' (Lambchop) studio in Nashville, accompanied by Dave Boulter, Neil Fraser and drummer Thomas Belhom. Further sessions at Lucky Dog studio featured Tindersticks' stalwart Terry Edwards and longtime collaborator, Gina Foster. All songs were written and produced by Stuart A. Staples. The album also features duets with Maria McKee (‘This Road Is Long’) and Lhasa de Sela (‘That Leaving Feeling’). Leaving Songs will be released with a bonus CD, Stuart’s 2005 solo debut “Lucky Dog Recordings ’03-‘04’”, previously unavailable in the US. Reviews Stuart A.
