Do You Know (2008)

YEE HAW Jessica Simpson crosses over to country with Do You Know and does...um, okay

Jessica Simpson cutting a country album falls fairly low on the surprise scale, especially given the still-mooing cash cow of modern Nashville. It's also no shock to anyone who's even casually followed her nine-year career that the girl can sing. But while it's nice to hear her pipes free of breathless pop production, it's a shame she ran with such bland, emotionally self-indulgent material for Do You Know. And though teaming up with frequent Carrie Underwood songwriter Hillary Lindsey for five tracks was a savvy move, we already have a Carrie Underwood, honey...and she probably turned these songs down.
