On her first country album, pop star Jessica Simpson duets with Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, and Charley Pride. And the record boasts production by John Shanks, who's worked with Sheryl Crow and Kelly Clarkson, as well as Brett James, who co-wrote Carrie Underwood's single "Jesus Take the Wheel."

Over the course of four albums in nearly ten years, the public at large has proven largely indifferent to Jessica Simpson the pop singer, stringing her along with a handful of charting singles but never quite giving her a big, undeniable pop hit, the kind that would justify her celebrity. Given that anemic track record, why wouldn't a good ol' Texas girl like Jessica leave the city for the country? That's exactly what Simpson and her omnipresent father/manager Joe have done with 2008's Do You Know, featuring the title track duet with Dolly Parton, the not-bad "Come on Over," and "Still Beautiful," a quietly insistent empowerment anthem.
