Black Country Singers: ‘We’re Tolerated, Not Celebrated’

Despite their immense talents and contributions to country music, black country singers often find themselves facing discrimination and prejudice within the industry. While they may be included in the genre, they are often not given the same level of recognition and celebration as their white counterparts.

Many black country singers have spoken out about the challenges they face, from being overlooked for awards to struggling to get radio play. Despite these obstacles, they continue to make music that moves and inspires audiences around the world.

It is time for the country music industry to acknowledge and celebrate the diversity of its artists. Black country singers deserve to be celebrated, not just tolerated.
