Black Alt Magazine

Credit: Mark Zaleski / The Tennessean Happy Black History Month, fam! Today's Black country bae is Kentucky-born singer and songwriter Tanner Adell . Now, I just recently learned about Tanner through the Black Alt Mag Facebook page, via a comment under the Chapel Hart (see how we work together)? I challenge you: Google this woman right now. There's next to nothing on her. Overnight, Tanner has become a country favorite of mine, even as her detractors swear she isn't "really country". We seem to  be hearing a lot of that lately by people who really don't want Black women in country music. Which sucks for them because there are plenty of Black women already in country music and have been since Black people created country music.
