Latest Album ‘For the Black Sheep’ via StarVista Music Available Now!
Singer-songwriter and outlaw original Lacy J. Dalton is celebrating the 35th anniversary of her hit single “Black Coffee,” a song written by Hillary Kanter and Even Stevens. Released in March 1990 as the lead single from her album Lacy J., the track peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in June of that year. Becoming a fast fan favorite, this single remains a standout in Dalton’s legendary career, showcasing her signature blend of gritty vocals and storytelling lyricism. “Black Coffee” not only solidified her place among the era’s most respected artists but also remains a testament to her enduring influence in country music, continuing to resonate with longtime fans and new listeners alike.
“It was given to me by a couple of people who really loved me, writers Even Stevens and Hillary Kanter, who knew it was going to be a really big record – and it was, and continues to be after all these years. I am very grateful to be the one who got to sing this song.”
