Review

Joy Oladokun feels as if she’s fully embraced herself on Observations From a Crowded Room. It’s not that her previous work hasn’t been vulnerable, or that she hasn’t been thoughtful and frank in her interviews, but Observations embraces a refreshing honesty — one that is blunt and painful, but also liberating and emancipating.

Country Universe

The longest-running country music blog, Country Universe was founded on and remains committed to the fact-based notion that country music has never been the exclusive purview of artists who are straight, white, Christian, Southern, and (mostly) men. When focusing on either the genre's history or its present, CU takes a "big tent" approach to the broader country universe and believes that a foundation of empathy makes country music an essential part of our shared popular culture.
