Hey everyone, it's Sid Evans, editor-in-chief of Southern Living. We're taking a quick break,

but we'll be back on July 9th with the two-time James Beard Award-winning chef, restaurateur,

and cookbook author, Ashley Christensen. In the meantime, I hope you'll enjoy this conversation

with the actress, musician, and host of Farmer Wants a Wife, Jennifer Nettles.

Welcome to Biscuits and Jam from Southern Living. I'm your host, Sid Evans. And today I'm

talking with an artist who's probably best known as part of the country music duo Sugar Land.

Jennifer Nettles was born and raised in rural South Georgia, where she got very involved in 4H, a relationship

that's still a big part of her life.

She went on to an extraordinary music career, winning a long list of Grammys, CMA

Awards, and ACM Awards with Sugar Land in the mid-2000s.

By 2015, she'd started to work more in film and television, including her roles as

Dolly Parton's mother in coat of many colors and Christmas of many colors.

And now she's the host of a successful dating show called Farmer Wants a Wife.

We'll talk about why Jennifer feels like this concept is so different from all the others

in the genre, and why she'll always

feel connected to the farming community. We'll also hear about her upcoming album Timeless,

her thoughts on the evolution of country music, and what the song Baby Girl means to her

20 years later on this week's Biscuits and Jam.

Jennifer Nuttles, welcome to Biscuits and Jam.

Thank you.

Thank you for having me.

I love both of those things, so this is exciting.
