"This debut by Sarah has a Steve Earle feel to it. It's the recording Maria McKee should have made years ago. Great backing band. Sarah's hard edged tough hard rock country vocals are great. I love it. Alternate Country fans this is for you. We will be seeing her on the cover of No Depression magazine soon. As for the guy who said she can't sing......he must be a Julie Andrews fan."
Stunning debut!

"A few months ago I spent a whole weekend on the phone with a tech guy trying to revive my crashed computer and all the time I had music on and the only time he commented at all was when I was playing Sarah. "Who's that you got on? She sounds really cool!" Indeed, this is easily one of the top two or three CDs I've gotten in a long time (Along with Kevin Gordon's 'O come look at the burning'). Sarah rocks out! She reminds me of the comment that Carlene Carter made years ago about putting the 'c*nt back into country'. Well Sarah certainly does that and more. Jesus she is tough! I got to see her live last night at the Old Town School of Folk Music here in Chicago and she just blasted off. She even LOOKED like she could be Carlene's daughter. Towards the end of her set she did a cover of Dylan's Outlaw Blues that was just unbelievable.
This CD is so good it hurts. Sarah Borges is the REAL DEAL. And catch her live if you can... you won't be sorry. 24 hours later and I'm still all shook up."

"actually, she's much better than that. Great, steel-guitar-laden, honky-tonk music. If Gram and Emmylou had a baby, SB is a pretty fair approximation of what it would've been like...If artists like Lucinda and Maria McKee appeal to you, this should be right up your alley.
Debut of the year!"
