Beyoncé made history with her highly-anticipated act ii follow-up, COWBOY CARTER. The Texas-born powerhouse broke records and initiated conversation about what defines country music when the country-themed project arrived last month.

Now, a soon-to-premiere documentary special will delve into “this reckoning in the genre, straight from the country music capital of the world.” Call Me Country: Beyoncé & Nashville’s Renaissance, produced by CNN FlashDocs and streaming on Max, will make its debut on Friday (April 26). The documentary will include in-depth discussion and interviews with Rhiannon Giddens — who played banjo on “Texas Hold ‘Em,” one of the first tracks to release when Beyoncé announced her album earlier this year — Brothers Osborne, Rissi Palmer, Aaron Vance and Denitia, plus analysis from experts of the genre Touré, Larisha Paul, Chris Molanphy, Kyle Coroneos, Keith Hill, and Co-Directors of the Black Opry Holly G. and Tanner D, per CNN and a Warner Bros. Discovery press release on Tuesday (April 23). Watch the trailer here.
