As Beyonce released the album artwork for her forthcoming album “Cowboy Carter,” she hinted at why she went country in the first place.
Before there was pop, rock, or R&B, there was country. And Beyoncé—the Houston-born child of Destiny—is not new to it, contrary to popular belief. In 2016, the singer released the critically acclaimed visual album Lemonade. On it? “Daddy Lessons,” track six of 12, a brass-banded, clap-handed ditty about a girl, her daddy, his whiskey, and a gun.
Critics and fans alike knew the power they wielded: they were bridging the gap between pop and country with a sprinkle of politics, revitalizing the genre for a new era. On March 10, 2003, a little over a week before the United States invaded Iraq, the band performed to a crowd of adoring Londoners in the Bush Theatre. As reported in Betty Clark’s Guardian review at the time, Natalie Maines, the lead singer, had some choice words for then-US President George W. Bush.
