Review

Label who you are in one word, and then explain how you are in one record. That’s exactly what Chris Housman has done in his debut album Blueneck, and it’s also the reason why Blueneck has succeeded. The album contains 13 tracks, which, in my view, include an intro, an outro, and two chapters. "High Hopes" is obviously a dance song with strong rhythms and grooves, and my favorite part of this song is the funk-style guitar sweep. As the opening track, "High Hopes" sets a positive, optimistic, and pleasant tone for the whole album.

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.
