Jimmie Allen is a Black American country singer. Mercury Lane is his debut album. It was released on Oct. 12, 2018. The album includes Allen’s debut single “Best Shot” which made history as a 3 week №1 song. And he has a second single titled, “Make Me Want To”. The album is named after the street on which Allen grew up. He wrote over half of the album’s 15 tracks.
According to the online news, Jimmie Allen tweeted his feelings to BET for refusing to play his videos. Jimmie tweeted, “So BET stands for Black Entertainment Television, but yet, they won’t play my music videos. Last time I checked, I was black. People worried about “Nashville” not letting black country artists in, but yet, BET won’t let black country artists in. Nashville let me in”.
In my opinion, they could have played Jimmie’s videos. Although BET is not about country music, BET could include country black music because they are about black entertainment. I’m Gail Nobles, and you’re listening to the EbonLiner.
