Willie Nelson has agreed to write a few songs for Jessica Simpson’s next album to help her turn to country music.
The singer’s father revealed her interest in recording a country-style LP recently and Simpson has insisted that she is very serious about her change in sound.
Jessica claimed that she got the inspiration to change her style from Nelson when she appeared in 2005 movie The Dukes of Hazzard. She explained: “I aspire to be like Patsy Cline. Willie actually turned me on to her because he used to be one of her background singers.”
Simpson, who grew up in Texas, said of her plans: “My next album is probably going to be with Willie Nelson. I’ve been wanting to do a country record because it’s in my roots.”
