"My Black Country: The Songs of Alice Randall" is the companion album to Alice Randall's
new book "My Black Country," which offers a lyrical, introspective, and unforgettable
account of her past, her search for the first family of Black country music, and the radical joy
in realizing the power of Black influence on American culture. The album is a powerful
compilation of Black female country artists re-recording the greatest songs of Alice's
catalog, bringing to life the Black characters and portraits of the Black west embedded in
her songs. The album is produced by Ebonie Smith (engineer of 'Hamilton', founder and
president of Gender Amplified, and the in-house producer for the Atlantic Records studio in
New York).
