“Texas Hold ’Em” singer made a last-minute pitch to country upstart Willie Jones to appear on her new “Cowboy Carter” opus — with the album deadline fast approaching to make her March 29 release date — it was either go big or stay home.“It was literally in the fourth quarter,” Jones, 29, told The Post of recording his “Just for Fun” duet with Beyoncé in the final stages of “Cowboy Carter.” “It was literally … end of February, February 20-something.”Jones got the call that would change his life from Alex Vickery, who produced his vocals on “Just for Fun” — which, despite its title, is a decidedly moody meditation.“She’s like, ‘Are you sitting down?’ I was like, ‘Yeah.’ And she’s like, ‘You know Beyoncé is working on a country album … [and] she loves your voice.’ I was like, ‘Are you serious?’ She was like, ‘Can you come out here tomorrow?’ I was like, ‘Send the car.’ ”And now the Shreveport, Louisiana native is galloping into history as one of the Black country artists spotlighted by Beyoncé Knowles Carter on “Cowboy Carter” — the undisputed event record of 2024 — which just scored the biggest sales week of the year in its chart-topping debut on the Billboard 200. Released to rave reviews (including mine), the LP also made Queen B the first Black woman to reign over the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, while simultaneously holding the top three spots on the Hot Country Songs chart led by her No.

Beyoncé and Paul McCartney.The “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer covers the 1968 Beatles beauty “Blackbird” — written by Macca, although credited to both McCartney and John Lennon — on her countrified new album “Cowboy Carter” that was released last Friday to rave reviews (including mine) and record-shattering streams.Bey’s honey- and harmony-coated rendition of “The White Album” classic — featuring African-American female country singers Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy and Reyna Roberts making like Destiny’s Southern Child — is a revelation that repurposes the song from a black female perspective.And Sir Paul has given Beyonce’s “Blackbird” — which is styled as “Blackbiird” on “Cowboy Carter” — the most royal of blessings.“I am so happy with @beyonce’s version of my song ‘Blackbird,” he wrote in an Instagram post. “I think she does a magnificent version of it and it reinforces the civil rights message that inspired me to write the song in the first place.

Kurt Cobain‘s death, photography duo Guzman (aka husband and wife Constance Hansen and Russell Peacock) have spoken to NME about their new book of unseen images of the late Nirvana icon.The book Family Values takes its name from an infamous Spin magazine cover with Kurt Cobain, Courtney Love and their then-five-week-old daughter Frances Bean.

The Queen of pop Beyoncé Knowles-Carter has delighted fans with her new album Cowboy Carter featuring the huge hit TEXAS HOLD 'EM, which no doubt, you've heard everywhere.

Keep reading to discover all the answers, including where you will be able to see the 2024 solar eclipse.According to , “a solar eclipse happens when, at just the right moment, the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth.” There are both partial solar eclipses (where the Moon only blocks part of the Sun's light) and total solar eclipses (where the Moon blocks all of the Sun's light).An important factor of who can see the eclipse and what it will look like is the path of totality.

new album “Cowboy Carter” — and one of them is none other than music legend Stevie Wonder.After accepting the Innovator Award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles Monday night, the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer gushed over the 25-time Grammy winner who handed her the gong.“Now, Beyoncé is once again changing music and culture,” Wonder said of her latest record. “And when she’s not changing music, she’s changing the world, fighting the good fight.”As the mom of three accepted the award, she thanked the “I Wish” hitmaker for “making a way for all of us.”“And thank you for playing the harmonica on ‘Jolene,’” she added.“Tonight, you called me an innovator and for that, I’m very grateful,” the 32-time Grammy winner said.

So decreed Queen B in a rare lengthy Instagram post about “Cowboy Carter,” which is “Act II” in her “Renaissance” trilogy that began with the underground house beats of her 2022 album that had us buzzing and bopping to “Break My Soul,” “Cuff It” and “Alien Superstar.”And while it may seem like a hair-whipping flip to take it from the ballroom to the barnyard on her latest, it is not as radical of a departure as it may seem for Bey herself, who hails from Houston, Texas, and is as Southern as any hummingbird could be.“They used to say I spoke ‘too country’/And the rejection came, said I wasn’t ‘country ’nough’/Said I wouldn’t saddle up/But if that ain’t country, tell me, what is?” she sings with a snarl in her twang on “Ameriican Requiem,” the autobiographical manifesto that opens the album.This is Bey unplugged, raw and rootsy, two-stepping across the color lines that took “Texas Hold ’Em” — the banjo-picking bluegrass stomper that previewed “Cowboy Carter” last month — all the way to No.

cover of her certified classic “Jolene,” which recently turned 50.“Hey Miss Honey B, it’s Dolly P,” says Parton, 79, with all her familiar, down-home warmth.“You know that hussy with the good hair you sing about?” she continues, referencing the infamous, man-stealing “Becky” from “Lemonade” standout “Sorry.”“Reminding me of someone I knew back when/Except she has flamin’ locks of auburn hair … Just a hair of a different color, but it hurts just the same.”Then Bey takes the mic to deliver a soulful, acoustic-guitar-strumming rendition of Parton’s seminal hit — which, after being released in October 1973, went on to top the country chart as the title track of the singer’s 1974 album.Although it is as country as country gets, there is a bit of a hip-hop thump behind the propulsive beat to let you know that this is still very much a Beyoncé album.And after all the ballroom house beats of the first act of “Renaissance” — which came out in July 2022 — this is Bey unplugged, raw and rootsy, breaking down how betrayal knows no color before a whoop-ass choir backs her up at the end.But Parton isn’t the only country legend who — after Beyoncé hinted that she was not “welcomed” when she performed “Daddy Lessons” with the Chicks at the CMA Awards in 2016 — co-signs on “Cowboy Carter.”O.G. outlaw Willie Nelson appears in two interludes — “Smoke Hour” and “Smoke Hour II” — as the host of a radio show on KNTRY in Beyoncé’s native Texas.

“Cowboy Carter” — the Beyoncé country album that is dropping at midnight — you don’t have to hold up before she brings some more of that “Texas Hold ‘Em” twang.Here are six other black country artists who will get your yeehaw up before Mrs. Carter takes us all the way to country town on “Act II” of her “Renaissance” trilogy — which will include a tribute to Linda Martell, the first African-American woman to play the Grand Ole Opry — at midnight.Coincidentally, Brown will be playing the New York area — bringing his In the Air Tour to Prudential Center in Newark, NJ on Saturday — on the same weekend that “Cowboy Carter” drops.
