On Leaving is the fourth album by American singer-songwriter Nina Nastasia.
"[1] Stylus Magazine commented the album was "full bodied and masterful, overshadowing many big-footed leading ladies’ recent folk releases.
"[2] Pitchfork Media found it "difficult to hear Nastasia pull back to a songwriter-with-guitar style.
"[3] "Jim's Room" is inspired by Nina Nastasia's father, artist James "Jim" Nastasia, and his series of still-life paintings titled "Francis".
The song references Nina's memories of both Francis and Jim's smoke-filled art studio in her childhood home.
