Simpson Keeps Her Word With Country Album

Pop star JESSICA SIMPSON is keeping her promise to return to her musical roots
– she’s started work on her first country album.

The singer/actress revealed her plans for a new musical direction in an
interview last year (07) – and Simpson has stayed true to her word.

She tells Billboard magazine, “I am a country girl. I grew up in Texas, and
country music was what I listened to.

“I always wanted to wait until the time was right.”

Simpson has been working with country legend Willie Nelson on the follow-up
to her 2006 album, A Public Affair.
