Beyoncé + The Chicks - Daddy Lessons - Live Country Music Awards CMA Awards - 2016

"Daddy Lessons" is a song recorded by the American singer Beyoncé for her sixth studio album, Lemonade (2016). The song was written and produced by Wynter Gordon, Beyoncé, Kevin Cossom and Alex Delicata. The song's music video is part of a one-hour film with the same title as its parent album, originally aired on HBO. A remix featuring Dixie Chicks was released as a promotional single on November 2, 2016.There was controversy on if "Daddy Lessons" constituted a country track.[5]Naming "Daddy Lessons" the best song on Lemonade, Carl Wilson for Slate writes that the track is"certainly the best country pastiche ever heard on a contemporary R&B album, and it could be the country song of the year, period. It’s reminiscent in theme and tone of classic Nashville mama/papa ballads by the likes of Dolly Parton or Tom T. Hall but, of course, from an utterly distinct vantage point."[6]In 2016, The Recording Academy's country music committee rejected the inclusion of "Daddy Lessons.""Daddy Lessons" was added in the setlist of the American country band Dixie Chicks during their DCX MMXVI World Tour. On April 30, 2016, the song was covered for the first time at Manchester Arena in Manchester, England[16] and remained in their setlist throughout the remainder of the European leg of the tour in addition to the North American leg of the tour. Billboard describes the performance as "faithful" to the original song.[16]In 2019, the song was covered in the episode "Chapter Fifty-Six: The Dark Secret of Harvest House" from the third season of the television series Riverdale, performed by Camila Mendes.
