At first I didn't think it made sense, ... But we decided if it was a hidden track, it wouldn't disrupt the flow of the record, and it would also give people the insight that there was more to a redneck woman than they might think.

To me, redneck is a sense of self and a way of life.

I didn't feel the pressure that everybody thinks about on sophomore albums. I didn't think about it. I had final approval on all the songs. My label trusted me to know my audience. We recorded 16 songs, and we used them all.

I think Lindsay Wickman is kind of hidden in our track team and she works really, really hard. She helps us in every single event that she does. She just has a smile all the time and is working hard. She's progressing every single week and doing a great job.

I don't really think about having had a hard life. It was just my life, and it's all I knew. It made me who I am - all the good and bad - and it's where all of the songs on Here For The Party came from. I've lived them all.

I think I have common sense. There are so many pieces of legislation that don't pass that kind of test.
