Jimmie Allen, Darius Rucker and Kane Brown are making a statement in contemporary country by tearing down the historical belief that the genre is closed to people of color. But the advances the music has made at eliminating racial stereotypes on the creative end are only half the battle, according to a Grammy-winning artist- producer, who believes that the country business could widen its reach by making black fans feel more welcome. Garth Brooks and Old Crow Medicine Show helped recognize Opry “The biggest mistake in the country music industry is not marketing to black Entertainment senior vp programming and artist relations Sally people,” said Shannon Sanders, musical director for The Fisk Jubilee Singers’ Williams as the Nashville Honors Gala raised $500,000 for the T.J. performance on Rodney Atkins’ “Caught Up in the Country,” during a panel Martell Foundation on Feb. 25.

If that figure is correct, then the volume of African-Americans at such concerts should approximate the percentage of blacks in the overall population. It does not — blacks make up 13 percent of the population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and no one eyeballing most country concert venues would argue that even 10 percent of those audiences is black. America’s historic racial problems are no doubt at play. Segregation banned blacks from occupying the same spaces as whites in many cities into the 1960s, and even after courts determined that such laws are unconstitutional, Trisha Yearwood visited Cumulus’ Nash campus on March 1 to neighborhoods were slow to integrate. discuss her album of traditional pop standards, Let’s Be Frank, on the Charles bucked rules in some communities by refusing to perform at syndicated morning program The Ty Bentli Show.

Both volumes have been out of print in recent years, though Concord Music rereleased them on Feb. 22 with the same cross-cultural goal that Sanders espoused. “The social statement that he makes with these records is so relevant right now,” said Concord president John Burk. “He broke down every musical barrier in one album and at the same time made a huge statement about unity through music and bringing it all together.” Sanders remembered his first country session, when he feared he would be shunned or mistreated by the other musicians. He was not. “You realize it’s just a conversation,” he said. “When we all get in a studio New artist Darby, 16, paid a visit to the Billboard offices in Nashville and sing together, play together, you realize how much you have in common, on Feb. 27.

Sure enough, the day of that second appointment, Veltz called Bowers ahead Tough guys act like they don’t need that kind of relationship, when in reality, of time with a thought: that the first verse needed to establish the singer as nothing would soothe them more than to have someone who doesn’t pray that often. someone see the vulnerable man behind the “When you write it fluffy, it doesn’t hit mask and embrace that person rather than the as hard,” she says. “When you incorporate gruff exterior. spirituality into a song, you can write it very The path toward love is treacherous.

A few days later, Bowers brought Stell. “It’s not even pleasant a lot of the time, Ostrander back in to focus on the guitar parts, nor is it a direct path.” particularly a steely, 15-second solo. STELL But when it’s real, it’s worth waiting for, “[We were] making sure it wasn’t too which is why “Prayed for You” is such a boon aggressive,” explains Bowers. “You’ve got to Stell’s life and career.
