あらすじ・解説
The shows themselves have this glue of positivity, connecting all the songs, and this idea that you can do anything, and you can get through these difficult times. Some songs are so cathartic and just speak right into your heart at the right time in your life, as Rachel Cholst feels about Cowboy Mouth’s classic song “Jenny Says.” Listen and learn some obscure tidbits of info about the energetic, New Orleans-based band. I know they have a reputation that it's a frat boy band, but there are a lot of people out there for whom they've done so much. And I hope that also is a part of their legacy. Cholst, a well-known freelance writer and creator of queer country music zine Rainbow Rodeo and the Adobe & Teardrops blog discusses the effect the Cowboy Mouth has had on her life, music, and social justice-focused activities with host Sloane Spencer. 90s college rock has a very specific sensibility where it's happy and sad at the same time. And when you're 12 going on 13 — yeah, that hits. Don’t forget to give One Hit History a five star rating!

I'm talking with somebody today who is a music person that if you don't already know you should, behind some incredibly important and fascinating outlets, Adobe and Teardrops and Rainbow Rodeo the zine you definitely need to know. Rachel Cholst. Hello. Rachel Cholst 0:26 Hi. Thank you so much for having me and for that really generous introduction. Sloane Spencer 0:32 Well, absolutely. So real quick before we jump into the big question and the fun part of this, creatively, what have you been working on lately? Rachel Cholst 0:40 That is a rueful laugh. Because I've mostly been writing essays since I'm working towards my MSW. And after about five years of doing freelance journalism on tight deadlines, while working a full time job writing like a five page paper double spaced is like really nothing to me. No, but time and energy. Sloane Spencer 0:59 Definitely, definitely. So give people the quick rundown on what Adobe and Teardrops is. Rachel Cholst 1:04 Sure. So I began Adobe and Teardrops in part inspired by the band we're going to be talking about cowboy mouth around is a lyric from one of their songs Man on the Run. Yeah, that was always meant to be a space to focus on artists who were flying below the mainstream sonically, of course, I think it's sort of getting more of a resurgence. But in the early 2010s, there was a lot of crossover between punk and country that I've found really excited. But then also artists who are generally marginalized by the music industry. So women, LGBTQ people, BiPOC people then to really shine a light on those artists within the Americana world. Sloane Spencer 1:45 Definitely.
