Jenny Don’t and the Spurs have been carving their own path in Country Western music for over a dozen years. Known for their high-energy performances and captivating stage presence, the band has built a global following with three albums, an EP, and nine singles. Their 2021 LP, Fire on the Ridge, expanded their reach, taking them on international tours and solidifying their presence in the country music scene.
Their latest release, Broken Hearted Blue, set to debut on June 14th, 2024, continues their momentum with 10 tracks that blend the essence of the Northwest’s music scene with the nostalgic feel of the Western frontier. The album opens with “Flyin’ High,” a high-octane track that merges the band’s garage-rock roots with their distinct Western style, setting the tone for a standout record.
Jenny Don’t, known for her rebellious spirit, channels the authentic outlaw vibe in songs like “Pain in My Heart” and “One More Night,” reminiscent of country legends like Johnny Paycheck and George Jones. Born in New Mexico and raised in Washington, Jenny’s songwriting is shaped by the contrasting landscapes of the Pacific Northwest and the Southwestern desert. The title track, “Broken Hearted Blue,” showcases her haunting vocals and Christopher March’s guitar work, echoing the desert night sky.
The album also marks a new chapter for the band with the debut of drummer Buddy Weeks, following the loss of longtime drummer Sam Henry in 2022. Instead of slowing down, the band pushed forward, honoring Sam’s legacy and bringing fresh energy with Weeks’ inclusion. The song “Bones in the Sand” captures this experience, blending dark and luminous textures to reflect their journey.
Produced by Collin Hegna, Broken Hearted Blue is a testament to the band’s dedication to authenticity and creativity. With tracks like “Sidewinder” and “Unlucky Love,” the album showcases a variety of styles while maintaining its Western charm, much like the rhinestones on their custom outfits, handcrafted by Jenny herself. This album shines as a true reflection of the band’s evolution and commitment to their craft.
