June Carter Cash's daughter Carlene released a statement on Friday addressing controversy over Beyoncé's country album 'Cowboy Carter'
On Friday, Carlene, 68, who followed in her mother's footsteps and became a country singer, released a statement of support for Beyoncé's country album,, Carlene's statement began."As a Carter Girl myself and coming from a long line of Carter Girls, I’m moved to ask why anyone would treat a Carter this way?""She is an incredibly talented and creative woman who obviously wanted to do this because she likes country music.
Carlene also addressed the controversy regarding country music's less-than-stellar reputation when it comes to accepting Black musicians in country music. "Sometimes the country music 'establishment' hasn’t been all that welcoming and sometimes this was accepted with open arms. Like Chuck Berry said, 'It goes to show you never can tell," she said."I am here to let Beyoncé and to all those nay sayers know that I admire and love her and all she does.
