Lavender Country
“Patrick Haggerty was raised on a dairy farm outside Seattle before the twin shocks of the Stonewall riots and his ejection from the Peace Corps radicalized him. In 1973 he released Lavender Country, widely regarded as the first country record by an openly gay person, in an edition of 1,000. Now that the label Paradise of Bachelors is reissuing the collection, the richness of Haggerty's achievement can be appreciated again.”
Blackberry Rose
“Nearly 50 years after he recorded perhaps the first country album by an openly gay person, Seattle folk singer Patrick Haggerty returns with a follow-up. In all of his songs, he’s equal parts empath and scold, a soft touch with a sharp tongue.”
