About

In Beyoncé's own words, “this ain’t a country album. This is a Beyonce album.” 


Cowboy Carter is Beyoncé's eighth studio album, presented as a broadcast by a fictional Texan radio station, Dolly Parton, Linda Martell, and Willie Nelson all acting as the radio DJs. 


The album features a total of 27 songs resulting in a lengthy hour and 19 minutes total. 


While primarily being a country album, elements of blues, soul, rock, R&B, and folk are incorporated into its overall sound. 


While Beyoncé was born and raised in Houston Texas, Daddy Lessons from her 2016 album Lemonade was the first time she’d used the country influences of her upbringing in her musical career. 


It was met with a fair bit of pushback, the experience resulting in the creation of Cowboy Carter.
