She became the first Black woman to launch a career as a professional Music Row songwriter and publisher in the 1980s. She's shared her incredible journey in her new memoir My Black Country, while a multi-artist collection of the same title features a dozen leading Black female voices in Americana singing her songs. Craig Havighurst visited Alice at her home to talk about it all.
