Watching the way the backing vocalist interacted with Gregory Alan Isakov I found myself wondering if they were lovers.
Just found out they are. OOOOH, am I ever jealous of the boyfriend.

Sorry people. Just realised I’ve placed a number of songs in under Gay Country & Western where they sure don’t belong. Me stupid.Lesson for the day. Don’t post when you’re stoned.

:laughing:

I’ve been told Gregory Alan Isakov isn’t country. If he’s not will somebody tell me where to shove this and why ?

Wow I picked up zero gay vibes from this. But a beautiful performance. :)

Thanks! It's by Wolfgang Tilmans, a great german (and queer) photographer.

Thanks for the Tilmans tipoff. Some impressive work, some very prosaic. I’d upload two of mine but the protocol for uploading graphic files here from my desktop defeats me. Oh, it appears to have worked.

This ain’t gay either but I don’t want to start another thread so I’m dumping it here.
A country version of "Harvest Moon" ? Who would have thunk ?

You were a phonograph, I was a kid
I sat with an ear close, just listening
I was there when the rain tapped her way down your face
You were a miracle, I was just holdin your space
Well time has a way of throwing it all in your face
The past, she is haunted, the future is laced
Heartbreak, you know, drives a big black car
Swear I was in the back seat, just minding my own
And through the glass, the corn crows come like rain
They won't stay, they won't stay
For too long now
This could be all that we know
Of love and all
Well you were a dancer and I was a rag
The song in my head, well, was all that I had
Hope was a letter I never could send
Well love was a country we couldn't defend
And through the carnival we watch them go round and round
All we knew of home was just a sunset and some clowns
Well you were a magazine, I was a Plain Jane
Just walking the sidewalks all covered in rain
Love to just get into some of your stories
Me, all of my Plain Jane glory
Just me and all of my Plain Jane glory

If I Go, I'm Goin - Gregory Alan Isakov with Aoife O'Donovan & Chris Thile

This house
She's holding secrets
I got my change behind the bed
In a coffee can
Throw my nickels in
Just in case I have to leave
And I will go if you ask me to
I will stay if you dare
And if I go I'm goin' shameless
I'll let my hunger take me there
This house
She's quite the talker
She creeks and moans
She keeps me up
And the photographs
Know I'm a liar
They just laugh as I burn her down
And I will go if you ask me to
I will stay if you dare
And if I go I'm goin' on fire
Let my anger take me there
The shingles man they're shaking
Back door's burning through
This old house she's quite the keeper
Quite the keeper of you
I will go if you ask me to
I will stay if you dare
And if I go, I'm goin' crazy
Let my darlin' take me there
If I go, I'm goin' crazy
Let my darlin' take me there

When they dragged a young Gregory Alan Isakov into the studio somebody went over the top with the arrangement. But hey, he was still a force to be reckoned with.
