Rainbow Rodeo

Interview

Country Risque embody the eclecticism of their hometown of San Francisco. The band’s vintage approach to country music is winsome and boot-kickin’ — as is their recently-released album Doe-Eyed Loverboys & Saints. (The album came out in March and we’ll review it soon!) For our very first Pride of Place column, Country Risque’s Miles Gordon walks us through all the things to love about San Francisco.

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.
