Beyoncé’s new album, Cowboy Carter, comes out on Friday — and the record has already sparked plenty of conversation about race and the country music genre. This week, we're sharing an episode from our friends at the podcast <a href="https://www.vox.com/today-explained-podcast">Today, Explained</a> from Vox media, on this very topic. Hear co-host Noel King take a journey through the history of black musicians making country music, and more.
