Worst thread ever.
She can sing all the country she wants as far as I’m concerned.So weird. How dare she not stay in her lane!It’s the best album evah!!!! So brave and I’m sure it’s 100% motivated by her desire to perform art.
Is she not supposed to try and make money? I'm not understanding your ire here, GB.
I read somewhere that she wasn't originally planning on the Jolene cover but Dolly said in some interview that she'd love to see Beyonce cover "my little old song". I thought the cover did a good job of making Jolene in her own style. Really liked it.Hmmm. I don't like the Texas Hold'em song. Sounds like she just put together a bunch coutry song sounding phrases to make a country song. And my wife and I listened to the Jolene cover yesterday and both hated it.
Still can't deny her talent though. She is impressive. Guess I will give the whole thing a chance.
My daughter was hoping for a Beyoncé/Taylor collab. I don’t think the internet could have survived it.Honestly, Beyonce and Swift are equally driven, creative and remarkable they just have a different portion of the pop music venn.
Some of that opera stuff reminded me of Freddie Mercury and that band he was in.“II Most Wanted” is a duet of Beyonce and Miley Cyrus. For me it’s one of the highlights of the album. They sound amazingly great together.
Yup, that's a great tune.
How about her opera singing in Daughter? I figured that was a cameo/guest opera singer when I first heard it.....no, that's her! Incredible talent to just pull that off.
Beyoncé said herself “This ain’t a Country album. This is a Beyoncé album.” The album is more about bending and blending genres, taking some country, mixing it with R&B and rock.She can sing all the country she wants as far as I’m concerned.
This ain’t it. She wears a cowboy hat so it’s country? Nah
Honestly have no idea where you are going with this line of thinking.So weird. How dare she not stay in her lane!It’s the best album evah!!!! So brave and I’m sure it’s 100% motivated by her desire to perform art.

I thought we were asked to stop doing this We’re continuing this conversation?
@FBG Moderator let me know before I get I trouble for the responding to these comments. I’d be happy to but not sure they can handle it. They haven’t so far.
Artists routinely dabble in other genres of music. Whether they do it out of lust for money or fame, I do not know
But what is country anyhow?She can sing all the country she wants as far as I’m concerned.So weird. How dare she not stay in her lane!It’s the best album evah!!!! So brave and I’m sure it’s 100% motivated by her desire to perform art.

I don’t think it’s about who is country and who isn’t. Im talking about what is country and what isn’t. Everything I read said “Beyoncé is putting out a country album “.But what is country anyhow?She can sing all the country she wants as far as I’m concerned.So weird.

I’ve always loved certain country artists: Townes Van Zandt, Patsy Cline, Emmylou Harris, the Chicks, Sugarland, a few others. I really don’t like Garth Brooks or several artists who sound like him. What distinguishes them? Who is country and who isn’t?

And I think the really weird posts were actually removed by the modsI finally made it through to the end of Cowboy Carter and came in here thinking it's great that this board has spent 3 pages discussing a new Beyonce album.
man I hate it when people put a gun to my head and force me into a thread about a subject I don't like...
Ugh!!!! I hate it when people have opinions different from mine please make it go away.!!!!!!!
Music is subjective and all but if you think this album is amazing or whatnot you are not welcome to DJ my party or control the radio on road trips
It’s on streaming services. I subscribe to Apple Music. A number of the music folks here use Spotify.So this will be old man chat but
Are you guys purchasing the album or is it included in some streaming service?
You can tell the last time I listened to new music
No dog in the fight, but would rather the artist control their music vs music executives and marketers. Granted few are successful enough to do it.It’s the best album evah!!!! So brave and I’m sure it’s 100% motivated by her desire to perform art.

Interesting to read that. I was thinking when I was listening that reminded me a little bit of the Van Lear Rose album that he did with Loretta Lynn, in terms of mixing country with some other genres.Jack White likes her album. That's enough validation for me.
Beyoncé Wants Jack White to Know How Much He Inspired ‘Cowboy Carter’
"Nobody sings like you," White wrote about Queen Beywww.yahoo.com
Yep and this a clear example of an artist in control.No dog in the fight, but would rather the artist control their music vs music executives and marketers.

The newer country that's fused pop, and hip hop is pretty bad, imo. Gimme John Anderson, Dwight Yoakum, George Strait. That's country.But what is country anyhow?She can sing all the country she wants as far as I’m concerned.So weird. How dare she not stay in her lane!It’s the best album evah!!!!

Never heard of thisBro country
That's always how I've listened to music. Strange but true.if the tunes weren’t catchy nothing else would matter to me
Thanks Rock. Interesting to me that kat Rosenfield, whoever that is, seems to know what Dolly intended for Jolene and meanwhile Dolly herself fully approves of Beyoncé’s changes and introduces the song on the album.
As far as the rest of your post, once again I have to take umbrage at the theory that I like this album for any reason other than I like the music and enjoy listening to it. Seriously if the tunes weren’t catchy nothing else would matter to me.

Taylor did start in country music.Beyonce sounds as country as Taylor Swift and her music sells just as much which is why the producers love todays Country.
