We can't get enough of the "Blackbird" cover from Beyoncé’s new album, “Cowboy Carter.” The song features four Black women country artists, including @brittneyspencer, who performed at the 2022 Treeline Music Fest, @thereynaroberts, @tanneradell, and @tieramusic. Cowboy Carter, released last Friday, is a unique blend of music genres. The album reintroduced the conversation around the connection of Black women with country music. To learn more about the significant role of Black women in country music, check out our Q&A with @stephshonekan, Dean at the University of Maryland. Although white men dominate the genre of country music, it has strong African American roots and influence that is not often credited. In the Q&A, Shonekan discusses the evolution of country music, the boundaries within the genre, and how Black artists are still shining within it. What’s one song you can’t stop listening to from the album? #CowboyCarter #CountryMusic
