Lavender Country - Lavender Country LP

Released in 1973 and recognized as the first openly gay country music album—and now the subject of award-winning documentary These C*cksucking Tears—Lavender Country stands as an artifact of courage comprising ten songs of gay liberation. A radical political protest document of enormous power and grace, it sonically recalls some ethereal psych-folk nexus of the Flatlanders and the Holy Modal Rounders.
