Leigh Nash is back on the music scene with a new album!
The former "Sixpence None the Richer" singer will release "The State I'm In" on Friday – her first country album (and first record since 2011's "Hymns and Sacred Songs").
"I’ve talked about making this record for 20 years, it took every minute of the last 20 years to complete, but it’s been well worth it," Leigh tells Access Hollywood of her upcoming album. "I’m overjoyed with it."
Produced by Grammy winner Brendan Benson, the album features 12 songs (all co-written by Leigh).
Leigh pulled from recent challenges in her personal life, including a divorce and a death in her family, for inspiration.
The album is heavily influenced by Leigh's love of artists like Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson and Roy Orbison, with a touch of mariachi horns reminiscent of her Texas roots.
