THE CHARCOAL EXPRESS

Well, what do you know? Jessica Simpson made a good decision after all. 

As reported, Jess moved to country music and her debut country single, Come on Over, makes a historic debut at #41 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart this week.

The song, which is described to be flirtatious and uptempo, was written by Simpson with Rachel Proctor and Victoria Banks.  The single is getting positive responses from both the radio and the listeners.

The feedback overwhelms even Jessica who finds the process of recording and releasing a country album exciting.  “I feel like a brand-new artist”, she said.  “It’s a great feeling”.

 “I look in the mirror and I know I’m doing the right thing with my career and my life,” she added. “It’s a great place of comfort.”

You sure did Jess!  You’ve got an early gift for your birthday!

Jessica Simpson puts on a new skin, musically.  If you’ve been carried away by her “yee haws” from “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’”, wait until you get more when her new and first country album comes out sometime in September. 

Her new single, Come on Over which is scheduled for a July release, is currently creating buzz across country radio stations and is expected to debut on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.

So Jess did really jump across the pop world barrier to join the ranks of country superstars like Dolly Parton, Faith Hill, Shania Twain, and of course, Carrie Underwood.  I think this genre suits her better besides the fact that pop music has been aloof to her. 

She couldn’t make herself Britney so let’s see how far she’ll get if she does a Carrie.  Hmmm…
