    Alice Randall: My Black Country

    My Black Country is a recent release by Alice Randall,  award-winning professor, songwriter, and author. In the book, Randall recounts her past and her search for the first family of Black country music. My Black Country celebrates the radical joy in realizing the power of Black influence on American culture through the work of DeFord Bailey, Lil Hardin, Ray Charles, Charley Pride, and Herb Jeffries.
