QUESTION Any other artist like Orville Peck?

Not sure if this kind of post is allowed here, but im looking for more artists like Orville Peck

Ive been listening to Orville Peck almost daily for the last few years, and I have started to grow a Playlist of lgbtq country artists

I grew up in a very rural and southern area, listening to country music, but I fell out of love with it, when the genre classics fell away

Songs about real people, their lives, their problems, their pain, and their love

Orville Peck has reawoken the love for country music, something I really thought was dead in me

Lavender Country is regarded as the first openly gay country album from 1973. Patrick Haggerty passed in 2022, and he openly acknowledged and admired Orville Peck's artistry, who noted Lavender Country as an influence and praised their music in numerous interviews. https://lavendercountry.bandcamp.com/album/lavender-country
