The message is obvious, maybe, but also highly effective: Country is part of a continuum of American music, and the story of American music is the story of Black people in America. Maybe all the genre hopping is the reason the CMAs failed to give Beyoncé a single nomination. (She’s nominated for five Grammys in country categories.) Or maybe it’s because she didn’t do enough to ingratiate herself with the country world, as Luke Bryan suggested. Perhaps the rationale is far more sinister. Either way, Billy Ray Cyrus was right when he reacted to the snub on X (formerly Twitter).“I was surprised to see @Beyoncé wasn’t nominated???” wrote Billy Ray, whose daughter Miley, it should be pointed out, is on COWBOY CARTER. “Her album was brilliant… her single ruled. But she knows that. She doesn’t need a trophy from the CMA… or permission …. or approval from any of their judges. ‘When ya knock em out…. Ya don’t need no judge.’ – Muhammad Ali.”Post Malone wasn’t attempting anything quite as revolutionary with F-1 Trillion, his big country move from earlier this year. Posty, you’ll recall, came on the scene in 2015 as a cornrow-wearing, controversy-generating rapper and slowly evolved into a distinctly 2010s pop artist, someone able to puree trap, R&B, and rock into easily streamable songs like “Sunflower” and “Circles.” Malone’s whole thing is that he likes everything, as he told The New York Times when explaining why his embrace of country was no big deal.

The album’s feature list reads like a CMA Fest poster, as Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, Brad Paisley, Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton, HARDY, and Dolly Parton—who’s also on COWBOY CARTER, along with Post Malone—stop by for a hang. Also, Morgan Wallen who guests on “I Had Some Help,” a playful country-rock tune about a pair of self-destructive lovers who together tank a relationship. It spent seven weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and ranks as that publication’s official Song of the Summer of 2024.
