Hey there, cowpokes. I am so sorry to have taken so long to update the playlist but I have had a number of weird emergencies come up and life has sidetracked me (again!) In lieu of adding just a few songs and writing up reviews, I wanted to update the playlist with all the queer country songs I bookmarked in May.

Luckily, every month is Pride Month here at Rainbow Rodeo, so follow our playlist to stay on top of the best and newest queer country music!

(Big thanks to Julie Nolen for sending some Texan queer country my way!)

  • Sug Daniels — “Leave a Light On”
