Drake Jensen has been one of the bear community’s favorite musicians since his debut album On My Way to Finding You in 2011. Since then, he has released four additional albums with his newest effort entitled Iconic coming your way in the fall of this year. In advance of the highly anticipated record, he has released the single and video for “Lovers In a Dangerous Time”. The Bruce Cockburn cover resonates now, more than ever before, as political tensions rise in relation to the LGBTQ community, especially throughout North America.

Country Universe

The longest-running country music blog, Country Universe was founded on and remains committed to the fact-based notion that country music has never been the exclusive purview of artists who are straight, white, Christian, Southern, and (mostly) men. When focusing on either the genre's history or its present, CU takes a "big tent" approach to the broader country universe and believes that a foundation of empathy makes country music an essential part of our shared popular culture.
