Jessica Simpson: Why I'm Recording a Country Album

After her bad luck at the box office, Jessica Simpson is hoping to bounce back with a country music career.
"I am a country girl," she says in a new interview with Billboard.com. "I grew up in Texas, and country music was what I listened to. I always wanted to make a country album, but I wanted to wait until the time was right."
She also cites Martina McBride, Shania Twain, Faith Hill and Reba McEntire as inspirations, adding, "I think there is a strength in female country artists."
She won't reveal her songwriting collaborators, but tells the Web site: "Writing is a release for me. It's a way for me to tell my story. That's not to say I wouldn't record a song that I didn't write. It's just that it has been a while since I have opened the book."
Simpson is still not certain if she'll hit the road to support the disc, which is due later this year.
"Since the record is in the beginning stages, there hasn't been much talk about a tour just yet," she says.
Tell Us: Will you buy Jessica's country album?

She is just desperate since all her other projects fail, she cant sing or act. She should just stop and admit that.

No I won't buy her new album. I once liked Jessica when I thought she was different than the other pop singers, but then she became like the others: failed marriage, trashy clothing, more famous for how little clothing she wears and how much she pushes her boobs up rather than what she sings or used to stand for. I've over the Simpson clan. That dad is creepy anyway.

one i like jessica simpson, i love her voice she can totally sing, now as far as her acting cant blame a girl for trying even if it wasnt that great. Now as for her going country- hey let her be and let her try it, I dont think she is a jinx to tony romo- really i dont, maybe he is just having a slump you never know. I think its great that she is her own person and does what she wants with her carreer and her life, so in short more power to you jessica- now weather or not her country album would be any good or not remains to be seen but ill tell you right now she's no martina mcbride..lol

She looks like a cross between a tranny and a blow-up doll, and she's nothing but a product bleep. Useless people like her are this society's biggest parasites (after large corporations, that is), and I will never buy anything she's trying to sell.

JESSICA BEING A DALLAS COWBOYS FAN FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS MEANS ALOT TO ME BUT ALSO BEING A FAN OF YOUR MUSIC AND BEAUTY IS EQUALLY GRATIFYING. SO DO NOT LISTEN TO ALL THE WANT TO BEES THAT NEED EXCUSES. I GUESS THE BEST QB IN FRANCHISE HISTORY(TONY) IS ACTUALLY HUMAN AFTER ALL. YOU SHOULD GO TO THE GAME,PUT OFF YOUR ALBUM ONE MORE DAY AND WATCH YOUR MAN DESTROY THE GIANTS LIVE. WHAT WOULD BE BETTER THAN SILENTLY TELLING MY FELLOW FANS TO SHUT UP AND ENJOY THE GAME. YES I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOUR COUNTRY ALBUM TO COME OUT. MAY YOU AND TONY ENJOY THE FUTURE TOGETHER.

I like Jessica Simpson, she's not out there on drugs and acting stupid like the rest of the Hollywood losers. People are bored, thats why they have to pick on someone like her.

Gosh, you guys are pretty mean. hmmm, why might that be? Could it possibly be that you're JEALOUS? This girl's laughing all the way to the bank, with Nick riding on her coat tails, and no matter what she does, she'll just make more money. KA-CHING! Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, after you take the apple out of your mouth....

obviously she is trying for a comeback. Just hope Dallas wins or the blame is on her. It looks like she lost her touch, in music and movies, after she divorced a true and honest guy.

I'd buy it. I think she has talent that no one has let her show yet. She deserves a second chance with her failed marriage to Nick.

Country music takes an incredible amount of passion...something I've never seen her display.

Dad is clearly trying to mold her into the image of Carrie Underwood. I'm not going to tear someone down for trying to explore different avenues, however, Jessica seems to have no mind of her own. Her Dad/manager pulls all the strings. Hell, they're even trying to copy the Romo romance. Get some originality please. Carrie Underwood has always promoted herself as a country artist...even as an AI contestant. Country music is her passion.

Hey 9:06, you're a f*cking bleepbag, not to mention completely idiotic. Did they say they were from Texas? No? That's what I thought. We don't ride horses, eat tacos and chili, and chew tobacco all day, you pathetically ignorant moron.

I'm sorry but this heifer has got to go!! She CAN NOT sing! I don't think she going to have much success going country. Faith Hill, Reba, Carry Underwood, Shania Twain just to name a few will blow her untalented behind out the water. She thought there was competition in pop music...good luck!!
