Rae Spoon

Label: None
Genre: Country, Folk, Pop

Rae Spoon is, according to the publicists, "one of the world’s only transgender country singers." He's also a clever songwriter and a bit of a wit, and really not all that country, at least on his most recent release, superioryouareinferior. This disc is a trip through musical styles, from lo-fi indie pop to mod folk. Drop a buck and download "If You Lose Your Horses" if you're looking for a classic country track, or check out the album's opener for an example of Spoon's songwriting smarts — I never knew I wanted to write a song for the Great Lakes until I heard his. Oh, and if you're looking for a record full of what it means to be a transgender country singer, you might want to keep on looking, because this isn't it.
