I first started listening to Adeem the Artist (they/them/theirs) back in April of 2023 when I heard their NPR interview on the radio. I was smitten with their music and stories. Before that, I was never really into Country. It’s not what I grew up with since I originally hail from NYC. But here I am, an Alabamian for the past couple of years and change.  Living in God’s Country and listening to Country music just feels right. Somehow the landscape just lends itself to it.

Country Universe

The longest-running country music blog, Country Universe was founded on and remains committed to the fact-based notion that country music has never been the exclusive purview of artists who are straight, white, Christian, Southern, and (mostly) men. When focusing on either the genre's history or its present, CU takes a "big tent" approach to the broader country universe and believes that a foundation of empathy makes country music an essential part of our shared popular culture.
