Country music has seen a shift in recent years, with some industry veterans declaring the genre as struggling or even dead. However, Beyoncé's upcoming album, 'Cowboy Carter,' is poised to breathe new life into the country music scene.
The 27-track album is a celebration of Southern values and the genre's African American roots. Beyoncé's decision to delve into country music was influenced by feeling unwelcome in the genre after a performance at the 2016 CMA Awards.
