| | Sarah Borges & The Broken Singl Diamonds In The Dark CD Sarah Borges & The Broken Singl Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
Claiming equal influence from classic country queens and vintage indie rockers, and featuring a heartfelt countrified cover of X's death-haunted "Come Back To Me," Sarah Borges leans a bit closer to the former than many of her alt-country contemporaries. Wielding a powerful voice that can shift from wistful melancholy to defiant strength in the space of a line, Borges is backed by a crisp, unfussy band that balances punky pop tunes like "Stop and Think It Over" and two-step shuffles like "False Eyelashes" without dropping a beat. DIAMONDS IN THE DARK is an unpretentious alt-country gem.

Diamonds In The Dark album
 $12.59   
Following in the footsteps of alt-country icons Shelby Lynne, Allison Moorer, and Maria McKee, Tift Merritt gilds her sophomore effort, TAMBOURINE, with country-inflected soul, a stylistic crossroads where Nashville and Muscle Shoals meet. Teaming up with Black Crowes/Jayhawks producer George Drakoulias, Merritt doles out healthy servings of roots-rock that include the chugging "Your Love Made a U-Turn" (with its bubbling bass and chirping harmonies), the jangly ...

| | Neko Case Tigers Have Spoken CD (2004)
Diamonds In The Dark music CDs
$11.99
For 2004's THE TIGERS HAVE SPOKEN, her debut on the prestigious Anti label, alt-country singer/songwriter Neko Case forgoes a studio album in favor of a live outing. Those looking for the upbeat pop of Case's work with the New Pornographers won't find it here--this is straight-up twangy country rock that sticks closely to the sound of her previous records (BLACKLISTED and FURNACE ROOM LULLABY), and makes the most of the concert setting.
The focus here, as always, is on Case's powerful voice, which channels Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn while remaining undeniably individual. Aided by the Sadies, vocalist Kelly Hogan, and pedal steel/banjo player Jon Rauhouse, Case unveils new originals (the bold "If You Knew," the ...
| | Sarah Borges Silver City CD (2005) Digipak
Diamonds In The Dark songs
$10.15 
It doesn't take long for Sarah Borges to capture the listeners' attention. Her first tune "All This Weight" pulls you in with its opening strains of a lonesome tremolo guitar, Borges' smoky voice purring "so tonight I'm feeling lonely baby" and then it all kicks into gear with a slap of drum and a whine of pedal steel. Borges keeps the momentum going strong through the next couple songs. The galloping country-rock of "Daniel Lee" recalls Maria McKee in her Lone Justice heyday. "Same Old 45," powered by big beat drums and crunching rock riffs, cleverly retells the story of Brandy (from the Looking Glass '70s AM radio hit) from her point of view. One of the Boston-based Borges' strengths is how she confidently takes on both rock & roll and country, sometimes in the same song. Tunes like the hardscrabble "On the Corner" and the bluesy, bitter "Six Feet Deep" balance some fierce guitar licks with heartfelt twang. Her country side proves particularly ...
