<p>It’s a dark, oft-demonstrated truth that society lashes out at its most vulnerable members when the world gets scary, and 2024 was a shameful year for Americans scapegoating and scaremongering against the trans community. But as a trans woman who has been creating and performing since the ’90s, Shawna Virago knows a thing or two about resilience.<em> Blood in Her Dreams </em>adds a ramshackle punk punch to the world of Lucinda Williams-esque Americana. And while the insightful, evocative lyrics are more personal than political, there’s an undercurrent of resistance and fortitude that makes <em>Dreams</em> a much-needed catharsis in reality. — <em>J.L.</em></p><p><a href="https://www.billboard.com/lists/best-pride-albums-2024/shawna-virago-blood-in-her-dreams-2/" title="">Read more…</a></p>
