Meh.

Things like this don't bother me. Charlie Pride has already been discussed. African Spirituals have had a significant impact on country music. And the Blues makes its way into country.

That said, that Beyonce country song is straight arse.

Sure is.

And they are doing nothing but making people want to avoid black artists like when Netflix used to push black movies in Feb.

Just make good movies and music and we will watch and listen.

Go and listen to early bluesmen like Leadbelly, Lightnin' Hopkins, or Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown and tell me that's not country music. Blues is not an offshoot of jazz, it's an outshoot of Scotch-Irish folk music driven by Afro-Caribbean drums. Influence is rarely a one-way street.
