âThis album has been over five years in the making,â Bey wrote of the project on Instagram earlier this month.
âIt was born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomedâŠand it was very clear that I wasnât. But, because of that experience, I did a deeper dive into the history of Country music and studied our rich musical archive. It feels good to see how music can unite so many people around the world, while also amplifying the voices of some of the people who have dedicated so much of their lives educating on our musical history.â
