Hailing from the fields and the farms and the line dances of rural Iowa, Paisley Fieldsnow stands — in snakeskin cowboy boots — as one of New York City’s queer countryleaders. Though his East Village Cxntry Club residency at Lucinda Williams’ new honkytonk and dive bar, as well as through his musical mentorship work through TheRecording Academy, Fields shows that country music is fun and for everyone.On his fourth LP, On Are U Mad At Me, the singer, songwriter, and pianist proves thatgenre is as fluid as sexuality. The 12-track album saunters across country, pop, disco,grunge, and classical with ease, with bangers like lead single "parTy girl" and the two- stepping “Hands Off The Hat,” as well as tragicomic ballads like “You Should Tell YourWife.” Ultimately, Are U Mad At Me encompasses music for dancing, for honoring elders, forflirting, and for ordering the second mimosa at brunch because life is fleeting. As Fieldssays, “At the end of the day, I just want to make people feel a little bit lighter, like theyare healing.”
