A native Texan, Justis Phillips joins us as we discuss the foundations and the future of country music. We start with artists such as Willie Nelson, Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton, and Tammy Wynette as they sing about love and heartbreak. We move towards the Dixie Chicks and Kacey Musgraves, who challenge gender norms with strength and tenderness, and then hint at the future of country music with black artists such as Beyonce and Lil Nas X, who highlight country music's new trajectory.
