"My Country, The African Diaspora's Country Music Heritage" is a most definitive study. Its detailed discography blew away the longstanding myth that African-Americans "did not like, did not perform, and did not want to perform country music." Ms. Foster shows that African American contributions went far beyond being that of being mere musical "influences," as is often presented in other works in which they were given minimum mention. This 350-plus page book provides substantiated information that African-Americans were in fact involved in Country Music from the beginning as musicians, singers, and writers, and later as Producers, Radio DJs, Music Publishers and Executives.

Lost John , possibly the oldest piece on "The Legendary DeFord Bailey" album, showcases DeFord's banjo playing and singing. This tune also represents an example of the black hillbilly music tradition that DeFord learned from his grandfather and uncles. Sweet Marie is an old waltz that DeFord's grandfather Lewis played in contests around middle Tennessee. Cow Cow Blues was a tune that DeFord learned from a black piano player at Nashville's Bijou Theater. He later recorded it as "Davidson County Blues." Alcoholic Blues was derived from a 1919 anti-Prohibition song recorded by vaudeville and radio singers such as Billy Murray.

Usually, when you ask a Black person under 50 about Black country singers, they will tell you that they don't exist, or that there are so few that no one knows about them. Ask most fans of traditional country about them and the only name they can come up with is Charley Pride. Sadly, because of a few reasons, some of the following artists, and others, are ignored or not included in country compilations or history books. None of the ones listed are not even classified as country, but that's what they are. I intend to create a CD-R comp of this largely neglected/forgotton/unknown group of fine singers and some of their hits.

It is rare to find African-American country music signers topping the charts, but singers Rissi Palmer and Cowboy Troy are breaking that trend. "I know you aren't used to hearing an African-American … who is committed to country music, but country music, R&B and blues are so much alike—good music is good music, that's all I can say," Dr. Angelou says. Dr. Angelou talks with Rissi and Cowboy Troy about their success and their hope for their careers. After years of trying to get a record deal in Nashville and turning down an R&B music career, Rissi says she is finally making her dreams of a country music career a reality.

The haunting dub of ‘Ghost Town’ perfectly captured the mood of its time, and spent three weeks at the top of the British charts during the turbulent summer of 1981. Elton John’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road has proved to be one of his most popular and enduring works. The man at the controls, David Hentschel, tells us how it came to be. John Cougar: 'Jack & Diane'
