I am so excited about working with Jesse, ... I haven't met him yet, but I hear he is a really nice guy and it will be my pleasure to work with him on this tour which will bring us to New Orleans on August 9.

They did an awesome job, ... Some of the lyrics, I just couldn't believe it. Some of the lyrics have lines that are right from my diary.

I grew up listening to Patsy Klein, Reba Mcentire and would study their voices. But once I became bored with that, I moved on to more contemporary stuff like Sheryl Crow and I combined everything that I had learned from country and rock and made this CD.

My parents were in the studio when we cut 'Let Me Try' and every time I sang it they started crying, ... I finally had to ask them to leave because I couldn't sing it while they were crying.

I just couldn't sing them because I couldn't relate, ... I knew that I could be performing these songs for years and years and I didn't want to sing something I couldn't relate to.

a step in the right direction for pretty young things with big voices and ample ambition.
