A No Depression Most Memorable Music Book of 2022 A Pitchfork Best
Music Book of 2022 Though frequently ignored by the music
mainstream, queer and transgender country and Americana artists
have made essential contributions as musicians, performers,
songwriters, and producers. Queer Country blends ethnographic
research with analysis and history to provide the first in-depth
study of these artists and their work. Shana Goldin-Perschbacher
delves into the careers of well-known lesbian artists like k.d.
lang and Amy Ray and examines the unlikely success of
singer-songwriter Patrick Haggerty, who found fame forty years
after releasing the first out gay country album. She also focuses
on later figures like nonbinary transgender musician Rae Spoon and
renowned drag queen country artist Trixie Mattel; and on recent
breakthrough artists like Orville Peck, Amythyst Kiah, and
chart-topping Grammy-winning phenomenon Lil Nas X. Many of these
musicians place gender and sexuality front and center even as it
complicates their careers. But their ongoing efforts have widened
the circle of country/Americana by cultivating new audiences eager
to connect with the artists' expansive music and personal
identities. Detailed and one-of-a-kind, Queer Country reinterprets
country and Americana music through the lives and work of artists
forced to the margins of the genre's history.
