A documentary special from CNN’s Flash Docs unit examines the evolution, some might say revolution, within the country-music industry, embodied by the blockbuster release last month of Beyoncé’s chart-topping Cowboy Carter country album. Diversity within a genre once dominated by straight white men has stimulated debate about the future of country music, while the special suggests Black artists in Nashville are nothing new. Musicians discussing the latest trends include Rhiannon Giddens, whose banjo skills can be heard on Beyonce’s “Texas Hold ’Em,” Brothers Osborne and Rissi Palmer, with music and culture experts also weighing in.
