As many of you know by now, I am a minor country music fan. Now sadly, that is not a common trait amongst African Americans. Indeed, the interest of African Americans in country music in general seems to be reflected in the number of African American artists that have been successful in the genre. Aside from Herb Jeffries, the Bronze Buckaroo, Charley Pride and Darius Rucker, there are few African American country artists of note and most certainly there have been no African American women of note... until now.
Now along comes Mickey Guyton and while her career is just beginning it is refreshing and inspiring to see.
