Jessica considering country album

Jessica Simpson is ready to add another accessory to her look - a cowboy hat. The singer is "talking about doing a country record and going back to her roots, being from Texas," Simpson's father and manager, Joe Simpson, said at the Hard Rock Hotel's Rolling Stone party in Las Vegas. "Everything in our business is about beats and I think she really wants to sing, and country music still believes in that." Simpson, 27, recently wrapped on Major Movie Star and is turning her thoughts back to music. "She's a singer from top to bottom," her dad said. "And everything in the music business, especially pop music, has moved away from singers. And I think country is the only pure storytelling kind of genre left." On whether she will be accepted by country fans, he said, "She's from Texas. How could she not?"
