Brandi Harnesses Her Inner Mustang In "Broken Horses" • Country Queer
By Syd Miller, Contributing Writer Brandi Carlile has told many stories over the course of her career. Her breakthrough album The Story is full of beautiful and touching tales.

Joy Oladokun's Gentle Kiss-off • Country Queer
By Syd Miller, Associate Editor Joy Oladokun’s latest single, “wish you the best,” featuring Jensen McRae, is a peaceful and contemplative down-tempo track. The gentle twangs of the guitar that sneak through the tender vocals and strings make for a soothing listening experience. The minor-sounding riffs and melancholy verses are someone reminiscent of a Kris Kristofferson tune — if it got hit with a lesbianification beam.
