The new doc arrives nearly a month after Queen Bey topped the Billboard charts with the record-breaking album Cowboy Carter, which features chart-topping hits like “Texas Hold ‘Em,” “16 Carriages,” and collabs with everyone from Dolly Parton to Willie Nelson, Shaboozey to Post Malone.
The doc highlights how “high-profile artists like Lil Nas X and Beyoncé are challenging the country music status quo, and how Black artists in Nashville have been laying the foundation for this transformation for some time.” And now Beyoncé fans can watch the new Call Me Country film on Max.

Queen Bey’s eighth studio album, Cowboy Carter, “arrived during a revolution within country music as the latest arena of the culture wars in America,” a release on the documentary explained. “Some in the industry are welcoming more diverse artists, while others stick to a much narrower view of a genre that predominately centers around straight, white men.”
According to a release, the documentary includes a long list of country stars, including everyone from Rhiannon Giddens, who played on Cowboy Carter‘s lead single, “Texas Hold ‘Em,” to John and T.J. Osborne of the Grammy-winning duo Brothers Osborne.
Rissi Palmer, Vance, and Denitia will also appear in the Call Me Country special, along with Rolling Stone‘s Larisha Paul, co-directors of the Black Opry, Holly G. and Tanner D., Touré, Kyle Coroneos, Chris Molanphy, and Keith Hill.

In Rolling Stone’s Cowboy Carter album review, Brittany Spanos writes, “Beyoncé’s point is made crystal clear by the time she reaches ‘Amen’: She is country and has always been country. There’s no doubting that, gatekeepers be damned. Her latest is a history textbook making her case from track to track. But Cowboy Carter’s greatest gift is its self-indulgence, when Beyoncé plays against typecasting and the rules made for her and, sometimes, by her.”
