Country music singer Drake Jensen's
third studio album OUTlaw arrives March 12.
Jensen publicly announced that he is
gay last year. Revealing that he had been bullied and faced abuse as
a child, Jensen dedicated the title track of his first studio album
On My Way to Finding You to the memory of Jamie Hubley, a
15-year-old Ottawa, Canada gay teen who was driven to kill himself by
the constant harassment of schoolyard bullies. His story was
included in a Towleroad.com roundup of most
powerful coming outs of 2012.
Between On My Way to Finding You
and OUTlaw, Jensen, 42, released a Christmas album titled
Christmas at Home.
A cover of Tammy Wynette's hit single
Stand By Your Man, featuring drag queen Willam Belli, a

viewed more than 40,000 times on YouTube. (The video is embedded on

The video for When It Hurts Like
That, the first track from OUTlaw,

released on YouTube two weeks ago.
