Today, if you were to look at my CD collection, it might scare some people.
Cause I'm a redneck woman.
I'm a mom first, a singer second.
To me, redneck is a sense of self and a way of life.
What I'm doing is a dream come true but at the same time its work. It's like anything else. The only time it doesn't really feel like work to me is when I'm on stage and doing what I've prepared myself for my whole life which is to stand out in front of a crowd and sing.
It became apparent to me really fast that I wasn't going to be able to make a living and pay my bills playing on Broadway.
