Gay Porn Goes Country

January 29, 2003 9:15 AM

Gay porn legend Jeff Stryker releases a country album. It's true! The site provides links to several mp3 samples, but don't miss the brilliant "Pop You In The Pooper!".

I think he needs to hook up with Kinky Friedman so they can do a duet medley of "Somethin’s Wrong With The Beaver" and "Homo Erectus."

I'm speechless.

Others may prefer the dulcet tones of Pansy Division.

Yes, but it is art?

Pop You in the Pooper

I am shocked, shocked I tell you, that the combination of country music and a gay porn star could produce something so crass. Anyway, I'm still waiting for Jenna Jameson's gospel album. I hear it's called Snatches of Scripture.

No one has mentioned the Gayrilla Biscuits, one of the few homo-core punk rock groups.

There probably is a pretty big following for gay country music. Case in point, in Dallas there's a gay cowboy bar called the Round-Up (I think). There's few words to describe watching very burly, manly cowboys two-stepping with each other. I'm sure many other cities have similar places. I don't know about you, but I smell a tour.

Gay country isn't a new thing. I was sent a copy of an album called Out in the Country by one Doug Stevens while working at a small-town Miss. newspaper in the early '90s. I still have it around, in large part because the title is way too classic. Question: Who's sexier? Tim McGraw or Doug?

Ufez: The one in Atlanta is called Hoedown

There's one in little old Joplin, MO called "Partners" - thing is, it's the best nightclub for 100 miles.

Do any of these gay cowboy bars serve pudding?

There's also Peter Grudzien the late 60's Brooklyn cowboy who gave us the immortal "There's A Star Spangled Banner Waving Somewhere" (available on this compilation).

There was also the previous porn to pop crossover success of Andrea True of "More, More, More" fame.

Who's sexier? Tim McGraw or Doug?

I've always been partial to Quick Draw, myself.

The gay cowboy song by which all subsequent gay cowboy songs are to be judged? Why, "Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other" by Ned Sublette, of course. Pansy Division covered it, but I don't think that the original has ever appeared on CD.

It sounds like Jeff Stryker uses the same session players as Lurleen Lumpkin.

I just made my boyfriend listen to that pooper song.....He says thanks ...he must go rinse his ears with iodine now!

Buy this release, and the Traci Lords techno album 1000 Fires, and your collection of music albums by Porn stars will be complete.

I think...

And when we speak of gay musicians, let us not forget Confederate Fagg.

Lord knows I won't ever forget...

Well, she's not really a she, and she doesn't really sing, and she's not really black, or so they say, which causes all sorts of weird scandals, but I've always loved Shirley Q. Liquor and have decided that my goal in life is to do a duet with her under my drag name of Ethel Alcohol.

WolfDaddy: Be sure to have Inita Goodwin and Helen Bedd from "Greater Tuna" as the opening act!

Most frighteningly, he's actually not all that bad. Granted, "Pop You in the Pooper" isn't Country Top 40 material, but he's got quite the Randy Travis thing going on...

Excuse me. Must wash now.
