If you’re into Halestorm, The Pretty Reckless, or the legendary Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, you’re about to fall head over heels for Sarah James. With her powerful, raspy vocals and a cherry red ’62 Gibson ES335 that screams attitude, Sarah drops « Take It or Leave It », a hard-hitting rock anthem that’s all about owning who you are—no filters, no apologies. Packed with electric guitar riffs, punchy drums, and a rebel spirit, this track is basically the soundtrack to telling the world: « So take it or leave it, this is the way I am ». The video? A perfect storm of personal struggles, bold love, and epic stage energy, where the concert crowd becomes a safe haven for anyone who’s ever felt judged. Trust me, Minute Cover didn’t just feature this for fun—this is a banger that’ll stick with you.
A Guitar Queen With Big Plans
Born in Pittsburgh, now rocking it out from Arizona, Sarah James is not just a singer—you could call her the guardian of guitar legends. As the mastermind behind Vintage Guitar Legacies (yep, that super-cool YouTube series with over 50k fans), she’s sharing the magic of vintage guitars with the world. And when she’s not geeking out over strings and frets, she’s out there lighting up stages with her band, blending rock, blues, and a dash of what she calls Americana-fusion.
What’s next? Oh, just a casual 5-song EP of originals dropping mid-October, plus another music video and a road trip with Vintage Guitar Legacies that might just land at Elderly Instruments in Michigan. So yeah—2025’s heating up fast, and if you don’t keep an eye on Sarah James, you’re seriously missing out on the coolest ride of the year.
