Hey Listeners,
June is African American Music Appreciation Month! Created by President Jimmy Carter in 1979, this month celebrates the African American musical influences that comprise an essential part of our nation’s treasured cultural heritage. I’ll join the celebration on the MIGFS Show with my show – Color Them Country – from title of new book by Kelly McCartney and Rissi Palmer and illustrated by Rhiannon Giddens. The book, of course, gets its name from Linda Martell’s groundbreaking 1970 release of the same name which included her cover of Color Him Father. You’ll hear that track along with varied representative selection of songs from over the last 100 years that represent African America’s contributions to country music.
