There aren't many buzzed–over young rockers with Smokey Robinson and NRBQ tunes floating around their heads, but Sarah Borges covers both on her third LP, and second with this band. Stars shows off Borges' friendly pop–rock attack and tosses in bits of twang, rockabilly and Fifties pop. Along with five covers are five originals, including the Joan Jett–esque "Do It for Free." Some of the material sounds like the work of a skilled, if not terribly distinct, bar band. But thanks largely to Borges' warm, perky voice, Stars is tuneful and unhip in a hip kinda way.
