Realizing she will never have Christina Aguilera’s chops or Britney Spears’ popularity, Jessica Simpson has decided to try a new route: country music.

According to father/manager Joe Simpson, the album - which is due out in September - is Jessica’s way of getting back to her Texas roots. (I’m sure her ‘coincidental’ relationship with Tony Romo is considered a bonus.)

While I’m admittedly not a Simpson fan, I must admit - this genre may suit her well. Long gone are the breathy vocals, annoying runs and forced sexiness. Plus, she gets some nice backup vocals to support her.

If you like what you’re hearing, you can find Jessica performing ‘Come On Over’ at your local fair sometime this summer.
