I really don’t event think of Jay when I hear Carter. I forget that that’s even his last name. I immediately thought of a campy alter ego first when I heard the title. Carter being her married name was literally an afterthought. Cowboy Carter is fun!

Lesley “Esley” Riddle and The Carter Family

 

In 1927, recording country music was a fairly new thing. Producer Ralph Peer toured the southeast looking for new talent. On July 25, 1927, Peer arrived in Bristol Tennessee, to record local musicians. The sessions would produce two new country music superstars: Jimmie Rodgers and The Carter Family. At that time, The Carter Family consisted of Alvin Pleasant (A.P.) Carter, his wife, Sara Carter, and A.P.’s sister-in-law (and Sara’s cousin), Maybelle Carter.

 

After the success of the original session in Bristol, A.P. would tour the surrounding areas in search of folk songs to copyright and record. It was during one of these song finding missions that A.P. met Black guitarist and singer Lesley “Esley” Riddle. As soon as A.P. heard Riddle play, he was invited to the Carter home. From that time on, Riddle would accompany A.P. on many subsequent song finding missions. A.P. would write down the words and Riddle would act as a human recording machine, memorizing melodies and chord progressions.

I-

I didn't even think of Jay when I saw the title I just figured "yep, she def named it that"
And I'm one of the first to usually denounce KissAss Hive (I've been doing so since 2016 when they persisted that Lemonade being restricted from streaming was somehow a boss move) cause I don't want us to be forever in the clouds like Barbz. I also shoo away 24/7 PessimisticHive because that gloom and doom comes from the trauma of past era mistakes and they've existed since the 4 era

She is one of the most creative and artistic female recording artists ever.

 

The artistry these last FOUR studio albums alone is amazing and is why she has amazing longevity.

 

She is offering something new every time she does an album while other pop girls in the past just offer the same old, same old which is why they never lasted as long.

Neal also posted himself in Houston with THE playing not too long ago and then deleted.

Already debunked

These rumors don't even make me move anymore. I truly think she's done with live performances people aren't paying premium for.

 

I wonder if we will get the official album cover next Tuesday and then the official tracklist the last Tuesday before album release

I'm ok with the title. 

 

Anyways, how much first week sales can we expect based off the pre-orders? 

shifted her Dolly wig a bit

This false equivalency  

Michelle Obama is known to the public as Michelle Obama. She became famous because she is the wife of a president. That is her whole brand. 
Beyoncé not only exists outside of her husband, she also is a bigger entity. 
A better comparison would be Barack releasing a book under Barack LaVaughn Robinson.

Sis... I can not believe how long you're dragging this thing. 

Spoiler

Michelle is called Obama because that's her name. Beyoncé is known as Beyoncé (just Beyoncé) and references herself as Mrs. Carter because that's her name. There's nothing cheap about that. Also the public links Carter more with Beyoncé than her husband. The fact that she's the bigger "entity" is irrelevant, her name is Carter, it's her family's name. 

And your post is reductive and inconsiderate of what is a marriage, it's two persons coming together and forming one, today they share the same name, that's her decision. Michelle also exists outside of her husband, in some ways, she's more popular than he is, more schooled than he is, in some spaces, way more respected than he is and built him up to what he became. Your post lacks respect tbh but whatever. A woman do not forfeit her power, her identity and strength just because she has the name of her husband.

She needs to archive those 6 CR posts, they look so ugly compared to the honey/brown/black posts starting from the Grammys. 

Lol at just a story for the link.
