Summaries

Linda Martell is the first Black woman to perform at the Grand Old Opry, in Nashville, TN in 1969, at the height of the Civil Rights movement. To date, she is the most commercially successful Black female artist in country music history, with her country-western remake of the Winston's "Color Him Father" reaching as high as number 22 on country music Billboard charts. But unlike her male counterpart, Charlie Pride, and countless white female counterparts, Linda's success and legacy is often overlooked and rarely ever mentioned. Until now. Bad Case of The County Blues: The Linda Martell Story, is a story of what it means to have the courage to pursue your dreams. It's a story of how that courage may not exactly result in the future you might have hoped for, but is, without a doubt, all you need to find the purpose that you and only you were meant to walk in.
