In a Motown cherry tree: learning to write hillbilly songs. The Supremes sing country at the Copacabana ; Florence Joplin, erased foremother of Black country -- 3.

Encountering: the first family of Black country and other allies -- 5. Scaling music row citadel: screaming like a banshee in Belle Meade. Dressing for success at the uniquely quiet Bluebird Café ; Charley Pride at a black-tie banquet in a Nashville ballroom ; Making a power move at the weenie roast ; In the Ryman with Roy Orbison and a chicken dressed up like Johnny Cash ; The Fairfield Four, Black gospel at the Ryman, and hallelujah, my first cut! ; Kossi Gardner, unheralded Black country genius with funeral-organ roots ; Unpacking Opryland (theme park, hotel, stage) cultural war zone ; Midsummer's first hit, the last days of DeFord Bailey, and other victories -- 6. Big dreams: big hits, big mistakes. Quincy Jones and The Cosmic Colored Cowboy ; The capital of Black country, Los Angeles ; The mayor of Black country, Ray Charles ; Los Angeles Black gospel, a taproot of Black country ; Herb Jeffries, the bronze buckaroo, rides, sings, and films apple valley -- 7. The second-best gift my bad mama gave me: Mother Dixie. The Wooten Brothers, the greatest Black country brother band of all time ; Maya Angelou's country cameos ; The Thing Called Love: a white country movie with Black country denouements ; XXX's and OOO's ; Unexpected consequences -- 8. Revived the rails: cowboys, Pullman porters, and soiled doves. California Zephyr, running with Lil from Bettie ; Iowa: more trains, planes, and automobiles ; Redemption remembered in the Black Northwest ; Vindication, plain but not simple ; The Pointers, the Panthers, the Barbary Coast ; The Coast Starlight, riding a spine of the Pacific, to the City of Angels ; A train whose name should be changed ; Nat Love, cowboy, porter, memoirist ; The original singing cowboys were Black ; Fresh horses ; Kansas City, Charley Pride, and baseball ; Lil, the territory bands, and letting go -- 9. The archive and the academy: creating a new country canon. Lil Nas X enters the academy ; Rissi Palmer enters the archive ; Rhiannon Giddens, creator and curator ; Allison Russell writes a cornerstone for the canon -- 10. Far yonder: beyond Motown and Music City. Linda Martell, a reckoning ; Aretha Franklin, a benediction ; Circling back, DeFord Bailey ; A new Nashville now, Mickey Guyton ; Circling back, Charley Pride ; Circling back, Lil and the linchpins in a wild woman's town -- Encore: a songbook performed in a wild woman's town."Alice Randall, award-winning professor, songwriter, and author with a "lively, engaging, and often wise" (The New York Times Book Review) voice, offers a lyrical, introspective, and unforgettable account of her past and her search for the first family of Black country music. Country music had brought Randall and her activist mother together and even gave Randall a singular distinction in American music history: she is the first Black woman to cowrite a number one country hit, Trisha Yearwood's "XXX's and OOO's". Randall found inspiration and comfort in the sounds and history of the first family of Black country music: DeFord Bailey, Lil Hardin, Ray Charles, Charley Pride, and Herb Jeffries who, together, made up a community of Black Americans rising through hard times to create simple beauty, true joy, and sometimes profound eccentricity. What emerges in My Black Country is a celebration of the most American of music genres and the radical joy in realizing the power of Black influence on American culture. As country music goes through a fresh renaissance today, with a new wave of Black artists enjoying success, My Black Country is the perfect gift for longtime country fans and a vibrant introduction to a new generation of listeners who previously were not invited to give the genre a chance."--
