{"product_id":"color-me-country-kelly-mccartney-9781536230246","title":"Color Me Country: A Celebration of Black Women Who Shaped Country Music","description":"\u003cb\u003eMultitalented Grammy Award winner Rhiannon Giddens paints women of color up-front and center-stage in this vibrant homage to some of country music's first and finest. Featuring a coloring sheet on the back of the jacket!\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 2020, Linda Martell, the first Black woman to play on the legendary \u003ci\u003eGrand Ole Opry\u003c\/i\u003e, celebrated the fifty-year anniversary of her debut album. That record, \u003ci\u003eColor Me Country\u003c\/i\u003e, marked a vital milestone for generations of Black and brown female musicians. Mining a bounty of stories and packed with resources, this collective tribute to artists like Martell--who have defiantly loved a genre that didn't always love them back--pairs nearly twenty mini-biographies with playful portraits in full color by Rhiannon Giddens, a musical legend in her own right. Each profile is a love letter to pioneers in country, Americana, and roots music who set the stage--or grace it today--with guts and soul. From the trailblazing Sister Rosetta Tharpe, who braved racism and sexism to infuse gospel with the blues, to \"Queen of Rock\" Tina Turner; from Odetta, the Voice of the Civil Rights Movement, to the heady vocals of Valerie June; from the Pointer Sisters to Our Native Daughters, \u003ci\u003eColor Me Country\u003c\/i\u003e challenges stereotypes to inspire young readers, especially Black or brown girls with a dream, to lift their voices high.
