Jamie Lynn Spears is recording a country album. Hold on to your shit kickers and plug your ears.  Hasn’t Jamie Lynn seen the news or heard what happened to Jessica Simpson’s career when she crossed over?  Country fans know who the fakes are…

More pictures after the yee haw….

Jamie Lynn has hardly been seen or heard from in several months.   She does look great in pictures, like she’s keeping herself out of trouble and the press.  Is it on purpose?   E! Online says:

The younger Spears, who took leave of a burgeoning Hollywood career to relocate to Mississippi to raise daughter Maddie, “has been quietly working on a country album since last fall,” says a source close to the family.

Although Jamie Lynn’s only musical credit to date is warbling the theme song to her defunct Nickelodeon series, Zoey 101 (a tune cowritten by her more pedigreed big sister), that hasn’t stopped Team Spears from “trying to get Jamie Lynn a record deal,” says another insider.

I’m not real sure in this effort.  I can see Jessica Simpson trying her hand at country, because she sang before.  But Jamie Lynn, who has never sung before?  She’d have to come out with some really great stuff in order to erase all the biases that are already in place about her and her family name.  Tough road, don’t ya think?
