Only subterranean routes will get you to certain places. Broken (and other rogue states) is the hand-held camera of country music. In Broken we hear none of the predictable twists and turns, nor are we sedated with needless repetition. Instead we experience the visceral unfolding of melody and backlit refrains, every song channeling the most electric moments of a day. Broken (and other rogue states) is the dawn of country verité.

Ottawa Citizen declares it the “break-up album of the year.” The album by Sarah McLachlan’s former guitar player has inspired cover stories in both of Canada’s national newspapers (Globe and Mail, National Post) and covers of the entertainment weeklies of several of Canada’s major cities, including both weeklies in Toronto (NOW and Eye), and features in just about every publication and national television show in the country. Landing him the headline spot on a national Canadian tour sponsored by Levi’s, Toyota, and Exclaim! Magazine, the album also has promoters buzzing in the UK and mainland Europe. Broken has earned rave reviews in Rolling Stone, Uncle Sally’s, Visions (all Germany), and Maverick, the Sun, Uncut, Word, and Q (United Kingdom).
