LEIGH ALBUM WILL BE RELEASED
Perhaps it's the current political climate of uncertainty that showed Music Row that it's all right to change your mind. In a surprise announcement, Sony / Monument Records has decided they will release Danni Leigh's album A Shot Of Whiskey & A Prayer, less than a week after it was announced that she was no longer with the label. In a personal message on her website last week, Danni Leigh announced her split with the label, and that plans for the upcoming single, album and video had been scrapped. Monday, a Sony representative called Danni's management with the news that the album would be released after all, at a reduced price of $13.98, as part of a special "Fan Demand" program. Plans are to have the CD released to record stores nationwide on February 13, 2001, no cassette tapes will be available. Stay tuned to CountryCool.com for the latest on this talented artist. (Yahoo)

MISSING ALBUM
Don't look for a Danni Leigh album on the Monument label. Leigh announced this week that she's left Sony/Monument -- without ever having released an album. She'd previously released one album on Decca, which left several artists stranded when it folded. She's recently opened shows for Dwight Yoakam. Leigh says the split from the label was a mutual decision, and she's excited about the new opportunities that lie ahead of her. She's promising another Danni Leigh album, whether she gets a new major label deal or  not. (Country 105)

Recently when Monument recording artist Danni Leigh opened the show for country legend Willie Nelson at the Trucker's Country Music Festival in Interlaken, Switzerland she never dreamed that she'd have the chance to sing with one of her biggest influences. But after her set, Willie invited her on stage to sing with her. DETAILS: Together they sang "Amazing Grace", "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" and "Seven Spanish Angels." It was after "Seven Spanish Angels" that Willie hugged her and said, "I have a feeling that isn't the last time we will sing that song together." (Leigh sings "Seven Spanish Angels" in her show and asked Willie if he'd record it with her someday).
