Country Music Needs a Revolution
from Part IV - Boundary Work
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 February 2023
Who knew that twenty-two years ago when I began this musical journey that I was making a political statement by just being myself, an eighteen-year-old Black girl from St. Louis, Missouri? In the epilogue, I recount my career thus far in Country music – the good, the bad, and the downright ugly. My journey from Eureka, Missouri, to songwriter’s nights in Nashville to a record deal and all the misadventures along the way. In telling my story, I examine the disparities that exist for women and Black, Indigenous, and artists of color in the country music industry and propose ideas for how to bridge and fill the gaps.
