Album DescriptionThe Auburn Collection is a musical guage of memories and seasons interpreted by Erin McDougald's perspective on her own crossroads in life. This recording relates to cycles of emotion, cycles of seasons and stages of realization that inevitably, we all experience. The autumn is a central theme and the colors that are associated with this season often give visual description to the singer's emotion behind each song. These songs are from another time but their ability to resonate in the heart of today's society offers the listener, perhaps, a deeper moment of pause. McDougald and her musicians swing passionately in this incredible collection of jazz standards and obscurities which are eloquently delivered in her theme.
