Rant:
I don't know who needs to hear this but the roots of country music come from black music, more specifically slave music.
The first string bands were comprised of enslaved people. The banjo is derived from African instruments. The structures and themes have origin in field hollers and slave spirituals.
If Beyoncé wants to make a country-western album, more power to her.
Fuckin' white people thinking they actually own the arts.
Every Caucasian needs to hear this.

Huh. This is oddly timely...I just went line dancing to Usher. Also to the Cowboy Boogie, but mostly Usher due to popular demand.
You can line dance to Usher, I can tell you that right now.
We were a bunch of middle age women, about 3/4 black1/4 white, and we like Usher. 🤷
I don't know who's on about Beyonce now, but I personally don't plan on paying any attention to them. She can do what she wants, and have fun with it!
@ChippySuave Amen!!!
