Featuring a coloring sheet on the back of the jacket!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 2020, Linda Martell, the first Black woman to play on the legendary \u003ci\u003eGrand Ole Opry\u003c\/i\u003e, celebrated the fifty-year anniversary of her debut album. That record, \u003ci\u003eColor Me Country\u003c\/i\u003e, marked a vital milestone for generations of Black and brown female musicians. Mining a bounty of stories and packed with resources, this collective tribute to artists like Martell—who have defiantly loved a genre that didn’t always love them back—pairs nearly twenty mini-biographies with playful portraits in full color by Rhiannon Giddens, a musical legend in her own right. Each profile is a love letter to pioneers in country, Americana, and roots music who set the stage—or grace it today—with guts and soul. From the trailblazing Sister Rosetta Tharpe, who braved racism and sexism to infuse gospel with the blues, to “Queen of Rock” Tina Turner; from Odetta, the Voice of the Civil Rights Movement, to the heady vocals of Valerie June; from the Pointer Sisters to Our Native Daughters, \u003ci\u003eColor Me Country\u003c\/i\u003e challenges stereotypes to inspire young readers, especially Black or brown girls with a dream, to lift their voices high.
