Recent country songs that have made me literally gay gasp as a gay woman, in order of how much they make me want to write an essay on gender and queerness

HONORARY MENTION BUT JUST BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS TECHNICALLY AMERICANA NOT COUNTRY (but genre is fake) AND THIS SONG ISN’T RECENT (2014 and I’ve been listening to it faithfully since then) BUT I ONLY RECENTLY LEARNED IT’S A COVER AND THAT’S MADE ME RECONTEXTUALIZE IT: “Murder in the City” by Brandi Carlile, a cover of The Avett Brothers where she changed the words “make sure my sister knows I loved her/make sure my mother knows the same” to “make sure my wife knows that I love her/make sure my daughter knows the same” which fucking. fucking gets me. Especially since the first time that I heard this song, I assumed it was from a man’s point of view because of that line, and then I learned that Brandi Carlile is a lesbian and I was caught up in my foolish heteronormitivity, and then I learned it was a cover and thought oh okay I guess the song is originally from a man’s pov and it’s cool she covered, and then I learned she changed those lines to make a song that already feels deeply personal to her to explicitly include her love for a woman and the family they’ve made together. And that’s just. It’s all just a lot.

3) “Fooled Around and Fell in Love” by Miranda Lambert featuring Maren Morris, Elle King, Ashley McBryde, Tenille Townes and Caylee Hammack, because the first time it came up on my spotify, I saw the title and was like “hey dope I like this song” and then I heard the first line was still “I must have been through about a million girls” and I realized none of the words or pronouns were getting changed and I was getting the song I’ve always wanted and deserved: a high production value, high energy, big girl group tribute to being a lesbian fuckboy who Fooled Around And, oops can you believe it, Fell in Love.

2) “If She Ever Leaves Me” by The Highwomen, sung by Brandi Carlile who is, as mentioned, lesbian, but since I’m apparently still chugging my comp het juice, I was still trying to figure out if this song--a classic “hey buddy keep walking, she’s my girl and she’s not interested” song with an interesting element of the singer being aware the relationship might not last anyway--was gonna be explicitly queer. And then there’s the line, “That's too much cologne, she likes perfume,” and I was like OH HOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!!

This is immediately followed by the lines “I’ve loved her in secret/I’ve loved her out loud” which is also deliciously queer in this context, with this singer and that juxtaposition, but the line that really fucking got me is my favorite of the song: “If she ever leaves, it's gonna be for a woman with more time.” This is two women in a complicated relationship. This isn’t just a “keep walking, cowboy” song, it’s a song that uses that framework to suggest a whole ass “Finishing the Hat”** relationship, and that’s so interesting to me. Like a song that isn’t just explicitly about two women in love but one that conveys very quickly a rich history between the two of them. And in a genre where the line “Kiss lots of boys, kiss lots of girls if that’s something you’re into” was revolutionary representation.

(Fun fact, “Follow Your Arrow” was partially written by Brandy Clarke, another country lesbian! Another fun fact, so is basically every other good country song. Brandy Clark, please write a big lesbian country anthem, I know it will immediately kill me on impact.)

To quote one youtube comment, “”lesbians how we feeling??” and to answer by quoting some others, “As a closeted baby gay in the 90s, who was into country, this song would have changed my life”, “I just teared up. So many happy tears, as a gay woman raised on country music, this is something that's definitely been needed. Thank you Brandi. Thank you highwomen”, “This song means more than I can say in a youtube comment”, and “Lesbians needed this song :)”

It’s me. I’m lesbians.

**ANOTHER HONORARY MENTION EXCEPT IT ISN’T RECENT AND IT ISN’T COUNTRY SO I GUESS THIS IS JUST A MENTION, BUT I AM INTERESTED IN THIS SONG--“Finishing the Hat” by Kelli O’Hara. A very good Sondheim joint, that’s about making art, the costs of its obsessive and exclusive nature and the incomparable pleasure of putting something into the world that wasn’t there before. It’s such a traditionally male narrative that I’m thrilled to find a wonderful female cover of it. I’m not even fussed about her changing the gender from the lover who won’t wait for the artist (except that the shift from “woman” to “one man” sounds so clunky) because there’s value turning this song into a lament of the men who won’t love artistic women. But I do also wish she’d also recorded a version that kept the original gender so it would be gay. OKAY BROADWAY TANGENT OVER, BACK TO COUNTRY.

1) “Highwomen” by The Highwomen, ft. Yola and Sheryl Crow. I can’t even express the full body chills the first time I heard this. Like repeated, multiple chills renewed at every verse of the song. This really closely parallels my experience with “Fooled Around and Fell in Love” up there, because when I started it I was like “oh dope I know what this cover will be” and then the lyrics started and I was like “OH MY GOD I DIDN’T.” In the case of “Fooled Around” it’s because I was amazed that they kept the original words. In the case of “Highwomen” I fucking transcended because they changed them.

So I grew up on Johnny Cash, obsessed with a couple of his albums but largely with a CD I had of his greatest hits. (Ask me how many times I listened to the shoeshine boy song. Hundreds. Johnny Cash told me to get rhythm and I got it.) And my FAVORITE was “Highwayman” from the country supergroup he was in, The Highwaymen. The concept of the song is that each of the four men sing a verse about a man from the past and how he died. It’s very good. The line “They buried me in that grey tomb that knows no sound” used to scare the shit out of me. I didn’t expect to have a song that targets so specifically my fear of being buried alive in wet concrete.

(If you haven’t heard the song, by the way, listen to this version to properly appreciate it as a piece of music. If you have, watch the fucking music video holy shit this is a work of art oh my GOD.)

So I was predisposed to love this cover before I even heard it. But then I heard it. And they rewrote the song to be about historical women. And it’s like. There’s layers here okay.

Neither the Highwaymen nor the Highwomen are signing about famous people. This isn’t a Great Man tour of history, it’s about dam builders and sailors and preachers and mothers and Freedom Riders and also Johnny Cash who flies a starship across the universe, as you do.

In the 1986 version, it’s a song about the continuity of life--the repeated idea is “I am still alive, I’m still here, I come back again and again in different forms.” The highwayman is all the men in the song. He reincarnates. The song is past, present, future. The title is singular, masculine. The same soul, expressed through multiple voices, multiple lives.

In the 2019 version, the title is plural, feminine. Highwomen. This song is about women. Each verse asserts the same motif as the 1986 version--“I may not have survived but I am still alive”--but there is no implication of reincarnation. Each woman is her own woman. This version has a final verse that the previous versions lacks. The singers harmonize. It’s not a song where one voice replaces another, the story of this One Man progressing through time. It ends in a chorus of women saying “We are still alive.”

We are The Highwomen Singing stories still untold We carry the sons you can only hold We are the daughters of the silent generations You sent our hearts to die alone in foreign nations They may return to us as tiny drops of rain But we will still remain

And we'll come back again and again and again And again and again We'll come back again and again and again And again and again

Another fun fact! The first time I heard them sing “We are the daughters of the silent generations” I died! But luckily I came back again and again and again.

This is a song about the continuity of history. It asserts that women’s historical lives matter and that they continue to matter, long after they died. This is a song about legacy as well, the legacy of nameless women who worked to protect the ones they loved and make the world better. They don’t die by chance. They are all hunted down by political violence, by racism, by misogyny, for stepping outside their prescribed roles. But, as Yola (who btw fucking CRUSHES THE VOCALS ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????? HOLY SHIT MA’AM) sings as a murdered Freedom Rider, she’d take that ride again. And at the end of the song, she joins the chorus but does not disappear into it. Her voice rises up out of crowd. And the crowd calls itself “we”. These women are united but not subsumed into being One Woman. This is about Women.

And then, outside the song itself, there’s the history of this song about history. It’s originally by Jimmy Webb and was covered by Glenn Campbell. This cover inspired the name of the supergroup that covered it, the group with Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings, and my man Johnny Cash. And it’s like holy shit! What an amazing group to collaborate! Hot damn!

Then, it’s 2019 and here’s The Highwomen with Brandi Carlile, Natalie Hemby, Maren Morris, and Amanda Shires. The name is obviously riffing on The Highwaymen. Shires set out to form the group in direct response to the lack of female country artists on the radio and at festivals. And they name themselves after a country supergroup, and they put out this song, a song connected to massive names in country music, and they center all of this on women and womanhood and the right of women to be counted in history and to make history and to talk about the ways we have mistreated and marginalized women, in a group that started because one woman was like hey! we’re mistreating and marginalizing women!

I just think this is neat! I think there’s a lot here we could unpack! But this post is 100 times longer than I was planning and work starts in a bit so uh I’m gonna go get dressed and listen to The Highwomen on repeat for the next hour, “Heaven is a Honky Tonk” is another fucking bop that improves on the original, it would be dope if they’d collab with Rhiannon Giddens, okay byyyyyyyye

#don't even know what to tag this bc for one there's way too many links for this to show up in any tags!!#country music #long post #surprisingly long post!#feel free always to rec female country/americana/folk/bluegrass to me esp if it's gay

Due to some scheduling kerfuffles at the station, the July 2, 2018 instalment of The Midway will last longer and start a whole lot earlier! Coming to your receivers from 6AM-10AM MST, tune in for our post-Canada Day extravaganza.

The theme of this episode is a simple one: what is the best Canadian artist/song you’ve discovered in 2018? It can be a new release, or any Canadian that you weren’t previously aware of - regardless of era.

My First Frank Turner Concert

This is two weeks late, but here we go.

As I’ve stated before, I grew up in a house of music. None of us have any semblance of musical talent, but it was constantly playing in my house. My parents raised me with a pretty wide appreciation of musical genres. We listened to rock, country, pop, folk. alternative, punk, movie soundtracks, ballads, and practically everything else. The one I associate most with my house though is probably folk just because I never hear it played anywhere else. (Which is a shame because some of my favorite songs are folk.)

The Lumineers, The Head and the Heart, Mumford and Sons, The Avett Brothers, Cat Stevens, The Decemberists, and Amy Macdonald were all regulars through my childhood. Frank Turner came into my house when I was about nine and I fell in love with his music when I was thirteen. My dad had seen him four or five times before and my mother one less than him, so we are all clearly big lovers of his music. My father got me and him tickets to his performance at The Basement in Columbus (which is way less kid-nappy than it sounds), and it was just amazing.

The night started out with some confusion. Apparently something had gone wrong at the Basement itself so they moved us to the building approximately five steps away which was entirely flat ground so not the best for a 5′5 3/4 girl in a room of 40 year old adults, but you know. Turner’s stage crew was actually amazing. They created this whole stage and set everything up in 90 minutes so that the show could go on which is pretty incredible.

The indoor and standing concert was completely sold out, but the perks of loving the same music as 40-year old's is that they are not typically a push you over and slam dance crowd. (Though I’m told his full band performances of Four Simple Words turns the ground floor into a Mosh Pit.) The opening band, Nathan Gray, was the best opener I had ever seen. And the main singer was just so passionately open and sincere, the emotions dripping off of him was infectious bringing a tear to everyone's eye. And then Frank Turner came onto the scene.

If you have been to a concert of Turner’s, be it in a stadium with a full band or just an acoustic set of him and Matt Nasir, you know Frank Turner’s concerts only have two rules.

#1. Don’t be a dick #2. If you know the words, sing along

Their is no semblance of autotune in Turner’s recorded music. That is his raw, unfiltered, utterly brilliant voice. Frank Turner is a Wessex boy with a large vocabulary and mouth of a sailor, and it’s fucking glorious.

I was smiling so wide and singing along to every song so enthusiastically that by the end of the night my jaw was sore. And something I didn’t know about Turner, he’s funny. For instance, he knows that in a crowd of Ohio-ans, you mock Michigan. When he encouraged us to be kind to them after singing Be More Kind he was harshly booed, which prompted him to respond with a laughing “My work here has failed.”

Frank Turner is a person that I would happily see every time he passes by my state, and one I know that my parents would happily attend with me. Turner makes the kind of music that gets people into music. With his songs people can get the soul pounding, mind grabbing, this is the most beautiful thing in the world, and nothing will ever resonate with me as much as this right here and right now, so if it be the death of me I’m gonna enjoy it, moment.

If you want to get into his stuff, which I cannot recommend enough, my first post lists some of my favorite songs of his. Above all else this was just a truly remarkable experience and one that I will be chasing down every time I see a concert update from him. The messages he shares are so important and he does it in such a gorgeous way that very little else compares.

I will be seeing Hadestown and Wicked this month if anyone is interested in a post after the fact. Hopefully not one two weeks later though.

Tagged by: @halteclayre and @anidlebrain Rules: Tag 20 people you want to know better.

Nickname: none irl, online I have...way too many. lol Zodiac: Cancer Height: 5′2″ Last thing I googled: lol attempting to find local gay bars since my brother and sister-in-law apparently frequent the only one in our town. Favourite music artist: Dawes, Amber Run, The Avett Brothers, Florence and the Machine, Hozier, Imagine Dragons, Bastille...I mean there are too many, tbh. I have a music problem. Song stuck in my head: Fare Thee Well (Dink’s song) by Marcus Mumford and Oscar Isaac Last movie I saw: Rogue One (is anyone surprised? no?) What am I wearing right now: jogging shorts and a bombshell t-shirt. Why did I choose my URL: WELL. I got the handle Maven from a Kanye West song (I know, I know, I’m ashamed of me, too) and then that was taken so first I added an Oh so it was OhMaven (which is still my AO3 handle) but tbh I’m salty af so after some consideration I recently changed it to SaltMaven (which is also my Spotify handle) Do I have any other blogs: I do! Booksalt is my rarely-used book blog, MadcapFiction is my original-writing blog (which has been badly neglected lately), and I just created SaltMuse to just shitpost about my OCs. Religious or spiritual: I am strongly opposed to the organized religion in which I grew up, but I do still adhere (more or less) to its moral tenets? So, no to religious but yes to spiritual. Favourite colour: Plum, followed closely by sunset-orange, and teal. Average hours of sleep: ummmm. that depends. I either average 3-5 hours of sleep or 10-12 depending on what stage of my weird cycling sleep routines I’m in. Lucky number: 7 Favourite characters: Ohhhhh god. UM.

Shit I know I’m missing people but this list is already longer than any other two answers put together so I’m gonna stop here. Dream job: Comic Book/Coffee Shop/Community Space owner and manager, or writing in some capacity for comics or video games, or being a published novelist. Tagging: UMMM. @shaynmunroe bc I know you love to do things, and @thenewleeland bc I’m nosy (but don’t feel obligated to do the thing).

Seth Avett Sings, Fish & Bird by Tom Waits "Fish & Bird" They bought a round for the sailor And they heard his tale Of a world that was so far away And a song that we'd never heard A song of a little bird That fell in love with a whale He said, 'You cannot live in the ocean' And she said to him 'You never can live in the sky' But the ocean is filled with tears And the sea turns into a mirror There's a whale in the moon when it's clear And a bird on the tide Please don't cry Let me dry your eyes So tell me that you will wait for me Hold me in your arms I promise we never will part I'll never sail back to the time But I'll always pretend you're mine Though I know that we both must part You can live in my heart Please don't cry Let me dry your eyes And tell me that you will wait for me Hold me in your arms I promise we never will part I'll never sail back to the time But I'll always pretend that you're mine I know that we both must part You can live in my heart
