Beyoncé Appears to Drop ‘Cowboy Carter’ Tracklist That Includes ‘Jolene’ & ‘The Linda Martell Show’
Beyoncé has seemingly unveiled the long-awaited tracklist to her new album Cowboy Carter, which includes two tracks titled “Jolene” and “The Linda Martell Show” though it’s unclear if those two songs are collaborations with the country icons.
The superstar shared a graphic filled with what appears to be song titles from the March 29-slated record, modeled after a Western-style poster. “Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit,” reads a banner at the top.
Alongside the names of previously released singles “16 Carriages” and the Billboard Hot 100-topping “Texas Hold ‘Em,” the post also features the following titles: “Ameriican Requiem,” “Blackbiird,” “Protector,” “My Rose,” “Bodyguard,” “Daughter,” “Spaghettii,” “Alliigator Tears,” “Smoke Hour II,” “Just for Fun,” “II Most Wanted,” “Levii’s Jeans,” “Flamenco,” “Ya Ya,” “Oh Louisiana,” “Desert Eagle,” “Riiverdance,” “Tyrant,” “II Hands II Heaven,” “Sweet Honey Buckin’” and “Amen.”

The listing also features a nod to “Dolly P” as well as the name of Parton’s iconic hit “Jolene” — which Bey has been rumored to cover with an assist from the country legend on Cowboy Carter for weeks. Another piece of the poster reads “Smoke Hour Willie Nelson,” possibly hinting at a duet with yet another influential country star.
The graphic also lists “The Linda Martell Show,” a nod to the first Black female country soloist to perform at the Grand Ole Opry.
Billboard has reached out to reps for Beyoncé, Parton and Nelson.
Minus the names of Parton and Nelson, Cowboy Carter — which will serve as a sequel of sorts to Bey’s 2022 album Renaissance — there are 26 titles on the poster. Fans couldn’t be happier about the possibility of the Grammy winner dropping more than two dozen songs in a matter of days, with many Hive members taking to social media to share their excitement.
