Beyonce's Cowboy Carter reviews are in! Critics praise Queen Bey's first foray into country music with some even claiming it will 'revive' the genre - after some radio stations REFUSED to play lead single


The first wave of reviews for Beyonce's first country album - Cowboy Carter - are in, and they shower Queen Bey with praise.

The review adds Cowboy Carter is a, 'soulful celebration of Southern values and the genre’s African American roots,' adding that the singer has stated she recorded the album after feeling 'unwelcome' while presenting at the 2016 CMA Awards Moran adds that he, 'can't wait to hear how country radio or the Grammys handle Sweet Honey Buckin, an epic track that opens with Beyonce reverently covering Patsy Cline’s I Fall To Pieces and ends with her chanting “Buck it, like a mechanical bull!” over a stomping Jersey Club beat.' 'Over 27 interlocking songs and interludes, Cowboy Carter throws a lasso around country's sonic signifiers, and spins them into something unique: Appalachian fiddles are spliced with pop melodies, and lap steel guitars underscore rap verses with speaker-crushing sub bass,' Savage says.
