Boundary County is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Eilen Jewell. It was self-released in early 2006, and was primarily produced by drummer Jason Beek and Jewell. A collection of thirteen cross-genre Americana and country songs written by Jewell, it impressed critics.
The title of the album refers to the northernmost county of Jewell's native Idaho, named Boundary County as it borders Montana, Washington, and the nation of Canada. The album includes "The Flood", a sonic indictment of the political leaders of the United States following the catastrophic flooding of New Orleans in August 2005 in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
