LISTEN: Nothin’ Fancy, “Leaving’s Up to You”

Hometown: Lexington, Virginia
Song: “Leaving’s Up To You”
Album: Undeniable
Release Date: October 11, 2019
Label: Mountain Fever Records

In Their Words: “‘Leaving’s Up To You’ is one of the more traditional-style songs on this new album. When I penned this song a couple years ago I was trying to write a straightforward, cookie-cutter bluegrass song, and I believe I was able to achieve that. Lost love, cheating, leaving, and a traditional melody are the foundation for ‘Leaving’s Up to You.’ Hope you enjoy!” — Caleb Cox, Nothin’ Fancy
