Jessica Simpson has decided to get back to music, and country music at that. It was her decision. Really. It wasn’t because she can’t act. I’m sure she’s got offers pouring in like hot syrup on a stack of pancakes. I’m sure she’ll get back to acting in compelling films like Dukes of Hazzard and Major Movie Star when she decides she’s good and ready. She’s country singing by choice, man. By choice.

The singer is "talking about doing a country record and going back to her roots, being from Texas," Jessica’s father and manager, Joe Simpson, told PEOPLE at Hard Rock Hotel’s Rolling Stone party in Las Vegas.

"Everything in our business is about beats and I think she really wants to sing," he said, "and country music still believes in that."

Simpson, 27, recently finished filming Major Movie Star and is turning her thoughts back to her music. Her last album, 2006’s "Public Affair," hit the Top 20, but quickly fell off the charts.

"She’s a singer from top to bottom," Joe Simpson said. "And everything in the music business, especially pop music, has moved away from singers. And I think country is the the only pure, storytelling kind of genre left."

Is there a creepier father than Joe Simpson? Only he could manage to refer to his daughter’s "top" and "bottom" in the same sentence. You just know Jessica’s at the top of his spank bank. Ewwwww.
