Review

It’s Rashad needed more of the straightforward country tunes that RVSHVD does so well, and “Dope Boy,” the first single from the deluxe edition of his album, fully delivers on that. The production on this reminds me, of all things and I couldn’t be more delighted to say this, of Tanya Tucker’s “It’s A Little Too Late.”

Gay Ole Opry

Why queer country music? Because sometimes you love a culture that doesn’t love you back. And when everyone came to the first Gay Ole Opry in April of 2011 in all their country finery, we knew we weren’t alone. We do it because we love the music and want to build a community to support queer country musicians.
