Music Minute - Linda Imperial: Tulsa Rose

When asked about the inspiration for this song, Imperial shared, “The song was performed and recorded live to give us that authentic feel. "'Tulsa Rose' is my expression of pride for the unbelievably strong women of my Native American ancestry. Inspired by my grandmother Matty Posey and my great-grandmother Nancy Harjo Posey (Muscogee), I believe that If they could have endured times of such incredible misery and upheaval, I should be able to endure anything - and persevere.”
