Review

Don't be fooled by the steel guitar on practically every track. This spirited debut by Boston's Sarah Borges owes more to punk rock than honky-tonk, with an attitude closer to Chrissie Hynde than Patsy Cline. "Good things come to those who can't wait," sings Borges on the opening "All This Weight." She proceeds to bring a breathy urgency to highlights such as "Daniel Lee" and "On the Corner," matching the joyride recklessness of her backing musicians (including Jake Brennan & the Confidence Men and Blood Oranges mandolinist Jimmy Ryan). Though propulsive rockers dominate this Paul Q. Kolderie production, there's a tender vulnerability to "Mellow Doubt" and "Pious Proud," ballads that suggest a softer side to Borges. Amid all the songs of fast living and hard loving, her torchy reading of "I'm Going to Live the Life I Sing About in My Song" gives it a spin that gospel composer Thomas Dorsey never intended. --Don McLeeseA stunning set of songs exploring American music in all its many aspects. You'll hear everyone from Hank Williams to The Pixies, but it never sounds forced. Legendary producer Paul Q. Kolderie (Radiohead, Uncle Tupelo, Hole, Pixies) pulls it all together into a muscular, rocking sound that has a sometimes surprisingly tender core. Borges' songwriting range is most impressive in someone so young, and the songs are given ample breathing room by her band, which includes ex-Blood Oranges multi-instrumentalist Jimmy Ryan. "Silver City" is sure to emerge as one of the most striking debuts of the year.
