Jessica’s last album, 2006′s “Public Affair,” hit the Top 20, but quickly fell off the charts. Papa Joe explains the reason for the cross-over attempt. (CLICK HERE to here the song while you read)

“talking about doing a country record and going back to her roots, being from Texas. Everything in our business is about beats and I think she really wants to sing,” he said, “and country music still believes in that.” “She’s a singer from top to bottom,” Joe Simpson said. “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?”

Will the country music fans accept the blonde bombshell that has been rejected everywhere else? Papa Joe says “Hell yeah!” We’ll hold off on giving our opinion on the new joint as we think real country music died with Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings. And since Merle Haggard and George Jones are just too damn old to record anymore we don’t expect it ever to be acceptable again. Can we get an AMEN?
