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 Sugarland 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 Nettles, welcome to Biscuits and Jam.

Thank you. Thank you for having me. I love both of those things, so this is exciting.

Well, you're from down there in South Georgia. I mean, you've seen your share of Biscuits and Jam over the years.

I certainly have. And I'm a huge Southern living fan, so there's that.

Oh, well, thank you. That's

great to hear. Yeah. It goes both ways. Well, where am I reaching you right now? I'm at home.

In New York. Yes. A long way from South Georgia and from farm country. A long way from South

Georgia and from farm. Actually, not too far from farm country. You can hit farm country out here in like

an hour. Well, I want to talk about farmers. We're going to talk about that a lot today. And of course,

your show, Farmer Wants a Wife, which is in its second season, which has got to be very exciting for you.

Super exciting. Super exciting.
