Leaving Time - the 9th studio album from Austin icon Shinyribs - is a fitting return to the roots. Reunited with the artist's original record label, Nine Mile Records, Leaving Time sets aside the Soul horns and backup singers that have been a staple of the big Shinyribs band, in favor of a more stripped-down approach to this collection of songs.

Producer/multi-instrumentalist David Beck leans into the Americana side of Kevin Russell's sound, recalling the artist's early Nine Mile records Well After Awhile & Gulf Coast Museum, as well as the more sincere side of Russell’s legendary band The Gourds.

Joining Russell and Beck in the studio are bassist Mason Hankamer and pedal steel player Marty Muse from the Shinyribs touring band, drummer Dees Stribling (Robert Earl Keen), and keyboardist Jonny Keys (Uncle Lucius)
