Black country singers: ‘We’re tolerated, not celebrated’

Despite the popularity of country music and the success of many black artists in the genre, black country singers still face a lack of recognition and equal representation in the industry.

Many black country singers have shared their experiences of feeling tolerated, rather than celebrated, within the predominantly white country music community.

Despite their talent and passion for the genre, these singers often struggle to break into the mainstream country music scene and find opportunities for success.

It is important for the country music industry to acknowledge and lift up black country singers, providing them with the recognition and support they deserve.
