I always wanted to be the rockin'est country chick in the universe.

Musically, I always wanted to experiment.

My mother has always been open about all kinds of music and entertainment. She wanted us to see that it was not just country music and the Grand Ole Opry.

I've always wanted to make records that rock like hell. But also, I've never wanted to compromise that Country place deep inside.

I wanted to play rocking country music, and when I started out in the late Seventies, it took me a couple of albums to figure out how to do that.

Hopefully, people will rediscover real country music. After all, it's in my blood.
