Lavender Country: Lavender Country (PoB-012)

Widely recognized as the first openly gay country music album, Lavender Country stands as an artifact of courage. A political protest document of enormous power and grace, it sonically recalls some ethereal psych-folk nexus of the Flatlanders and the Holy Modal Rounders. Our deluxe reissue of this 1973 classic includes a 32pp chapbook featuring an oral history by songwriter Patrick Haggerty, color photos, and full lyrics to these songs of gay liberation.
