Autumn’s On Its Way — A Story Told in Song and Story

Experience Nancy Elliott’s debut novel alongside the music that inspired it.

Nancy Elliott’s Autumn’s On Its Way is more than a novel — it’s a journey through Southwestern Americana, where story and song walk hand in hand. The book grew from her music, and the music carries the spirit of the book. Together, they weave a timeless tale of love, resilience, and the landscapes that shape us. Nancy Elliott’s 2021 release includes a refreshed recording of Autumn’s On Its Way — the song that later inspired her debut novel of the same title, released in January 2024. The album also features a new version of Wild Rose, the first song to grow out of the novel, along with new pieces written during its creation and the poem The Ruby Handled Knife.

Bluebirds also highlights Nancy’s love for timeless songwriting, including Chuck Pyle’s Cheap Little Ring, Cindy Walker’s Close to You, and White Tanks, which was chosen by the White Tank Mountain Conservancy as their official theme song.

Praise for Autumn's On Its Way

“An amazing story … told with the same sparseness and ruggedness of word and phrasing that the story was set in.” - Jenn
