JENNY DON’T AND THE SPURS – US country western | garage | cowpunk group issue video from new album | UK tour commences 9th February

24th January 2025 0 By Jon Deaux

Based in the US Northwest, Jenny Don’t and the Spurs have spent over a decade building a global reputation as hard-working stalwarts of the Country Western scene, with dynamic music that also acknowledges their roots in garage rock and cowpunk.

The ’Spurs arrive in the UK in early February for a previously announced tour to promote their 2024 album, ‘Broken Hearted Blue’, which is out now on Fluff And Gravy Records. Fourteen UK dates will be supplemented with three further shows in May, including appearances at the Kilkenny Roots Festival in Ireland and Red Rooster Festival in Suffolk. The full itinerary can be seen above.

‘

Broken Hearted Blue’ presents ten dynamic new songs on an album that asserts itself as a standout on the scene, with its high-octane rockin’ delivery setting it apart from the herd. From the thunderous bassline of ‘Sidewinder’ to the infectious melody of ‘Unlucky Love’, reminiscent of Lee Hazlewood’s ‘60s style, each song possesses its own distinct charm while seamlessly upholding the album’s western essence.

Produced by Collin Hegna (Brian Jonestown Massacre, Federale), the album stands as a testament to his meticulous craftsmanship and guidance in helping the band to create a musical tapestry that highlights the talents of each member.

It also marks another significant milestone, with Buddy Weeks making his debut on drums following the loss to cancer in 2022 of drummer Sam Henry (The Wipers, Poison Idea, Napalm Beach). A devastating blow that would have halted many, the ’Spurs instead forged ahead and intensified their touring and recording activity, determined to honor his legacy. The addition of Weeks signals not only a new chapter, but also adds a fresh perspective and energy, symbolising their resilience.
