Country music had brought Randall and her activist mother together and even gave Randall a singular distinction in American music history: she is the first Black woman to cowrite a number one country hit, Trisha Yearwood's "XXX's and OOO's". Randall found inspiration and comfort in the sounds and history of the first family of Black country music: DeFord Bailey, Lil Hardin, Ray Charles, Charley Pride, and Herb Jeffries who, together, made up a community of Black Americans rising through hard times to create simple beauty, true joy, and sometimes profound eccentricity. What emerges in My Black Country is a celebration of the most American of music genres and the radical joy in realizing the power of Black influence on American culture. As country music goes through a fresh renaissance today, with a new wave of Black artists enjoying success, My Black Country is the perfect gift for longtime country fans and a vibrant introduction to a new generation of listeners who previously were not invited to give the genre a chance."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Country music $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a African American country musicians $z United States. 650 0 $a Country musicians $z United States. 655 7 $a Country music. $2 lcgft 941 $a 3 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240529010309.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20240525011224.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240502012127.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D9D2640A084B11EFBCAD05DA2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
