Description Brennen Leigh and Noel McKay craft story songs with equal measures heart (“Before the World Was Made”) and humour (“Breaking Up And Making Up Again”). Evidence: Before the World Was Made. The Austin-based songwriters’ debut collaboration spotlights celebrated troubadours in peak form (“Before We Come to Our Senses”). “These are modern day country duets à la George Jones and Melba Montgomery,” producer Gurf Morlix says, “but with very sophisticated song writing.”

“McKay and Leigh, both accomplished songwriters, together ooze the kind of charm that can’t be forced, winding through love songs both playful and sincere.”  –Austin Chronicle
