This Is Country, Now

Happy Friday nieces and nephews! 

Since Beyonce dropped here two country songs “Texas Hold Em’” and “16 Carriages” the internet has been resurfacing the true origins of country music! This week your favorite auntie Bridget Kelly is joined on the couch with one of your favorite friends with Benefits Blue Telusma for some grown, honest, and slightly toxic conversations about Black people and Country Music. 

The two talk about SOUL of America being in the South and the often misrepresentation of it’s contribution to culture,(16:00), famous cowboys (20:00), the true impact of the song “Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman on the Black (29:00), cowboy fashion (40:00), the fear of saying “he’s Black”  (59:00) Woke is the new “N” word (1:17:00) , willfully ignorant (1:21:00), Freshly Squeezed (1:30:00)
