Jessica Simpson’s country album, Do You Know, hit stores September 9, 2008. Simpson co-wrote all but three of the tracks featured on the disc, including her current Top 20 hit single, “Come On Over.”
Simpson is certainly ready to come on over to country music. Recorded in Nashville, TN, this album gives listeners an inside look into the real Jessica Simpson. “Every single song is a piece of my heart … who I am,” comments Simpson. “I’m not what everybody thinks that I am. Believe it or not, I’m a simple country girl. I might buy expensive shoes,” she laughs, “But, I’m definitely a simple country girl and this album will hopefully give people a sense of who Jessica is again.”
Helping share Simpson’s story is none other than country legend Dolly Parton who lends her powerful vocals to the title track, “Do You Know.” Parton wrote this record just for Simpson. “It’s such a great song,” comments Simpson. “I’m so blessed to be able to sing with her on it … she is so much a part of me finding myself as an artist.”
The response from country radio has been tremendous. “I always knew Jessica could sing, but dang! This is an automatic add for us! We girls from Texas can do anything we put our mind to,” says Christi Brooks (MD) KKBQ Houston. And this is not just a Texas bond. Simpson’s single is catching fire all across the country. Cody Alan (PD) KEGA Salt Lake City says, “The wait is over for this summer’s best feel good song… ‘Come On Over’ is the one!”
