Alice Randall Is Proof That Country Music Is Black

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Apr 3, 2024

Alice Randall is a household name in country music. She was the first Black woman to co-write a #1 country hit, "XXX's and OOO's." She reflects on her career in her latest book "My Black Country." It also examines the impact of Black tradition and culture on this "most American of art forms." Randall joins us to talk about the book (out on April 9), and teases out some songs from her forthcoming tribute album, to be released on April 12th.
