Every time I hear his voice coming in on that song, I get goose bumps. I still can't believe Merle Haggard is on my record. But I still haven't met him face to face. I've talked with him a lot on the phone, especially in the last few weeks, when we've been editing the video. It's strange to work with somebody without having ever met them. But hopefully, one of these days, I'll talk him into coming out to a show and perhaps jumping onstage to sing the song with me.

Most of them are man-bashing, downing guys. This one doesn't do that. 'Redneck Woman' is just a song about pride.
Many young people attend your concerts and purchase your music and T-shirts, ... Because your actions strongly influence the youth in your audience ... I ask you to take steps to warn young people of negative health effects of smokeless tobacco use.
I am still nervous when I travel because it is fairly new to me, ... You know, I didn't grow up traveling around the world.
I wish I could say I've traveled more than I have, but I pretty much stayed in one region and I'm sure there are a lot of places like it. To me it just seems so normal around there. It's my home.

Importantly, each shop will be designed with memorable visual elements or artifacts germane to the specific locale, and will be promoted by celebrities who are both national and 'local' in their appeal.
It's not my life story but stories from my life. And also stories from a lot of women that I grew up around and that I felt were very pivotal in my life and kind of gave me the courage and the strength to keep going. It's kind of going to be a feel-good book for women.
Word gets around quickly in Nashville. It's a big city, but it's got that small-town gossip aspect to it. If you have something to offer, it doesn't stay a secret for very long. We kept at it ... Sony (Epic Records) turned me down twice before they gave me a record deal.
We do country, jazz, bluegrass, rock?n?roll with a Pink Floyd-type light show and AC/DC-type pyrotechnics. It?s full on. The best way I can describe it is as a rock show with country music.
At first I didn't think it made sense, ... But we decided if it was a hidden track, it wouldn't disrupt the flow of the record, and it would also give people the insight that there was more to a redneck woman than they might think.
