Comment: Jon E. Erkkila is a transgender female/shemale person who is proud to be the first transgender country superstar in the USA. Indeed, it is a huge honour, isn`t? Every Man Needs A Mexican Mistress is the country music case with DIY/lo-fi attitude. Sloppy banjos, and accidental harmonicas, and loose-fitting yet somehow charming (male-tinged) singing used to constitute an intriguing whole. I would like to call it a sort of country-exploitation issue because she used to manipulate with hillbilly and country clichès while having a tongue-in-cheek attitude. In truth, could you imagine a glamorous, vamped shemale standing over there and singing seriously the country songs. Although it embraces 11 tracks it will clock in at a 27-minute only but it is not problem. The issue is a part of a short existed Italian label, Kill Mommy. Additionally to the release she would have issued even more 14 albums. Let's discover them under the name Slow Groan) through Bandcamp.
