The debut full-length album from Fort Worth, Texas, native Leon Bridges.
Produced by Austin Jenkins and Josh Block of White Denim. Awarded the prestigious 2015 Grulke Prize for Developing U.S. Act.
Leon Bridges is the "out of almost nowhere" story that only comes along once in a while. Awareness of Leon Bidges and his unique craft continues to grow authentically and consistently.
It was only last summer that Leon was singing open mics in his hometown Fort Worth, TX. One of those open mics was attended by Austin Jenkins and Josh Block of the notable indie band White Denim who were absolutely floored by Leon's voice, songs, and creative vision.
They soon after set-up shop in a makeshift studio and recorded the album's opener "Coming Home" completely live to tape. This first take is exactly what you hear opening the album. The remaining 9 songs followed in a burst of creativity and inspiration.
