Beyoncé:

Cowboy
Carter
[Parkwood
Entertainment/Columbia]

Beyoncé
is
back
with
act
two
of
her
promised


Renaissance
trilogy.


Cowboy
Carter
melds
country,
folk,
blues,
and
gospel
to
cast
a
contemporary
eye
on
pop
and
R&B’s
roots.
Outlaw
country
original
Willie
Nelson
features,
and
covers
of
Dolly
Parton’s
“Jolene”
and
the
Beatles’
“Blackbird”
support
the
album’s
inquiry
into
her,
and
our
culture’s,
musical
ancestry;
additional
guest
spots
from
Miley
Cyrus,
Post
Malone,
and
“Buckle
Bunny”
singer
Tanner
Adell,
meanwhile,
help
bring
the
album
into
the
present
day.
