Linda Martell was the first African-American woman to make the country charts and to appear at the Grand Ole Opry. As one of the first African-American country performers, Martell 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 be her last. Now the album is being remastered for it's first vinyl pressing in over half a century. Org Music's reissue was mastered by Dave Gardner at Infrasonic Mastering and pressed on color vinyl at Furnace Record Pressing, exclusively for Record Store Day 2022. Bad Case of the Blues, San Francisco Is a Lonely Town, The Wedding Cake, Tender Leaves of Love, I Almost Called Your Name, Color Him Father, There Never Was a Time, You're Crying Boy Crying, Old Letter Song, Then I'll Be Over You, Before the Next Teardrop Falls
