Jessica Simpson’s Goin’ Country Ya’ll

 

Jessica Simpson is ”talking about doing a country record and going back to her roots, being from Texas,” her creepy father/manager, Joe Simpson, told PEOPLE at Hard Rock Hotel’s Rolling Stone party in Las Vegas.

“Everything in our business is about beats and I think she really wants to sing, and country music still believes in that.  She’s a singer from top to bottom, and everything in the music business, especially pop music, has moved away from singers. And I think country is the the only pure, storytelling kind of genre left.”

On whether she will be accepted among country fans, he said, “She’s from Texas. How could she not?”
