Gene Howard: Love is a Drag – For Adult Listening Only

Rating: ★★

Record and Artist Details

Label:

Modern Harmonic

August/2017

To release an album in 1962 with a man singing love songs to other men, given the homophobic climate of the time, meant Howard's identity was not revealed in what became a celebrated gay album. Musically, though, the album falls short of its iconic status.
