Adobe & Teardrops: Episode 119

In this episode, Rachel test drives a new format with none other than Cindy Emch of the Secret Emchy Society. Cindy is one of the pre-eminent voices of queer country music. In addition to her new album, The Chaser, out on 5/15, we discuss glory holes and queer porn (it’s family friendly!), New Orleans as a music city, isolation and intimacy while on tour, and vintage country sounds.
Cindy also has a radio show on Friday afternoons on Gimme Country — if you like intersectional vintage-style country, download the app!
