All I Want To Do Is Listen to Sugarland

That song! That do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do...all I want to do.

All I want to do is listen to Sugarland's hot new single from their third album, Love on the Inside, which drops today. Click here to see the video.

I heard Jennifer on a local radio station, and she said Kristian's daughter inspired the little ditty that makes the song irresistible. It's flat fun!

"All I Want To Do" is #3 on the Billboard country music chart. There's a short review in praise of the album at Billboard with one error: Sugarland is not on the "cusp of super stardom"; Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush have broken through the barrier that separates new sounds we like and making music that will last a lifetime.

Nettles' star has long been shining. Before Nashville took notice, she fronted one of my all time favorite Georgia bands and the subject of my best obscure mix DVD - Soul Miner's Daughter. She had it then - a voice that could make you see inside yourself and cry- playing folk rock at bars around Athens. She's a little less angry and the songs are a little lighter, but the voice remains true. She can make you smile, too.

So, to correct Billboard, Sugarland has reached super stardom, and Love On The Inside is the fruit of their labors, ripe and lush and ready to be picked and played and enjoyed by country music fans everywhere.

A "deluxe fan edition" of the album was released last week at itunes.com. It includes a chance to WIN one of 5 Ultimate Sugarland Fan Experience Trips to the CMA Awards in Nashville, TN in the "PLATINUM TICKET" Instant Win Game.

Country Music Today: 5 Reasons Why Jessica Simpson Ain't Daisy Duke

1. She's "gone country" but ain't country. Who sold more records last year, Carrie Underwood or Jessica Simpson?

2. Remember, if you must, her short lived reality show: "I thought Chicken of the Sea was chicken." Please, Daisy Duke knows you can't chicken-fry tuna!

3. Who do you want on your side in a bar fight -- Gretchen Wilson or Jessica "Oh, My, I Broke a Nail" Simpson?

4. Daisy Duke's shorts weren't cut from designer jeans. Get some Wranglers, girl!

5. Do not disrespect Dolly Parton by forgetting the words to her song in the house of country.
