This new anthology from the always on-the-money Numero brings together fifteen tunes from the unsung queer country songwriter Charles K Brown, best known for his band Sleepy Creek’s tune from which this collection takes its name. I Just Want to Talk to You was a song of unrequited love and repression in a time where being out and making country music just didn’t feel possible, and it casts a sadder shadow over these jaunty songs of Tennessee women and life on the road. - Flying Out
Queer country rock from south of the Mason-Dixon line. High school folkie Charles Brown teamed up with regional rural rock rascals Sleepy Creek, triggering an unrequited inter-band love story and this album’s melancholy title track.
This 15-song LP gathers Brown’s solo and band work from 1976-’82, and Jon Freeman’s accompanying essay dissects the origin story of this private press pioneer.
