Show notes

Sarah Borges & The Broken Singles is the kind of person whose DNA would read like a musical chart if you mapped it out on paper. The gritty and playful Borges and her band, which includes guitarist moreSarah Borges & The Broken Singles is the kind of person whose DNA would read like a musical chart if you mapped it out on paper. The gritty and playful Borges and her band, which includes guitarist Mike Castellana, bassist Binky and drummer Rob Dulaney, veers from torch songs to rockabilly to twangy country to melodic pop. “We can't help but run the gamut,” Borges says. “We have four distinct personalities. We love to go from rock to country to whatever.”Artist

Direct says that James McMurtry remains, arguably, rural America's best songwriter and social critic. His lyrical range continues to become more versatile, from bitter social commentary to elliptical imagery. His music, meanwhile, has become just as distinctive as his lyrics, a thick Texas stew of rock, country, folk and roadhouse boogie framed by McMurtry's own chiming, evocative guitar work.
