Wheel Of Life
Boris' new album is a little bit dirty and a little bit countrified. A companion CD to 2008's Bad Road, Good People, it contains the smart rollicking song by the same name. Check out "Mullein People" and "California" – destined for Americana charts. Vintage Boris poetry and classic music on this mostly western roots gem.

Utrecht
From Utrecht, the Netherlands. This is the best live recording of the full New Mexican legendary Salt Lick line up. It is great because of the laid back, fun vibe and the unusual configuration of instruments.

Bad Road, Good People
Deep satisfaction, smart lyrics, and enlightening Southwest desert music combined with Boris' Cape Cod roots keep this record wet and happy, sunny and wild.

Cactusman Versus the Blue Demon
No, it's not for kids! The concept for the cover and illustrations came from a dream Boris had about… well… battling a blue demon. Colorful cover aside, the songs range from quirky to serious to sublime. This is an album filled with surprises that continue to reward on each new listen.

Mother Ditch
The songs were inspired by experiences of people and places in New Mexico and on Cape Cod. This first release (2001) reflects Boris' bluegrass and folk roots but is a highly personal album… plus it has tuba!

When We Were Big
This cd falls into a roots rock vein with driving drum & bass grooves, electric guitars and edgy lyrics on some songs. Unusual instruments, arrangements, and of course Boris' unique take on life in the Southwest make this album a familiar itch that you'll have to keep scratching.
