Beyoncé: Cowboy Carter [Parkwood Entertainment/Columbia]
Beyoncé is back with act two of her promised Renaissance trilogy. Cowboy Carter melds country, folk, blues, and gospel to cast a contemporary eye on pop and R&B’s roots. Outlaw country original Willie Nelson features, and covers of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” and the Beatles’ “Blackbird” support the album’s inquiry into her, and our culture’s, musical ancestry; additional guest spots from Miley Cyrus, Post Malone, and “Buckle Bunny” singer Tanner Adell, meanwhile, help bring the album into the present day.
