Experts and fans view Beyoncé's foray into the country genre as a reclamation and homage to the legacy of Black Americans within country music and culture

But it was more than the exhilarating, catchy thrum of the banjo at the start of the song that caught Denitia’s attention: It was an overdue acknowledgement of the rich history of Black country music artists and their legacies. From historical figures like Lesley “Esley” Riddle, and Charley Pride, who broke down historical barriers, to current artists like Mickey Guyton, Jimmie Allen and Rhiannon Giddens, who played the banjo, an instrument of West African origin, heard throughout “Texas Hold ‘Em.”

For Royster and others, Beyoncé’s success is a reminder that “anyone, whatever their racial or ethnic identity, can participate in this culture and not feel like a genre or creed of creative art form or way of storytelling is closed to them.”
