Queue Points is proud to present part 1 of our Country music series featuring Mike “Big Mike” Bryant. We had so much more ground that we wanted to cover so Big Mike is back to help us unpack the impact of Black musicians on Country music. There’s so much to cover, and we only scratch the surface.
For this episode we discuss some of the origins of Country, and how Black artists are foundational to the genre. From artists like DeFord Bailey to Rufus “Tee Tot” Payne on this episode we center Black musicians in the music.
