Super Bowl. The 27-track album features a whopping list of star-studded collaborators, including
Miley Cyrus , Post Malone , Dolly Parton , Willie Nelson , Linda Martell, Tanner Adell, Willie Jones , Raphael Saadiq , The-Dream , Shaboozey and more. “This album has been over five years in the making,” Bey wrote of the project on Instagram earlier this month. “It was born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed…and it was very clear that I wasn’t. 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.”
