Linda Martell – Color Me Country (Sun Records 70th / Remastered 2022) (1970/2022)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 27:45 minutes | 639 MB | Genre: Country, Female Vocal
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Sun Records

Newly remastered! Linda Martell was the first African-American woman to make the country charts and to appear at the Grand Ole Opry, and helped lay the groundwork for future artists of color in the genre. Despite multiple TV appearances, a dozen appearances at the Opry, and some big hits – including “Color Him Father”, “Before the Next Teardrop Falls” and “Bad Case of the Blues” – her 1970 debut album, Color Me Country, would also be her last.

“I am so happy that so many people seem to love my singing. I love country music, I always have and I never thought in a million years that this would ever be. It has been a long road and I hope that you all continue to enjoy the album. I truly appreciate all of your support.” (Linda Martell)
