Jessica Mauboy

Jessica Mauboy has revealed that she dreams of making a country music album.

The 27-year-old singer revisisted her country roots during this year’s All the Hits arena tour.

Mauboy performed country songs by Tammy Wynette, LeAnn Rimes, Merle Haggard, Trisha Yearwood and Shania Twain in the concert, which will air on Foxtel’s [V] Hits on Friday at 8pm.

“I really want to make a country album sooner rather than later. My record label know that’s my love. That would be my dream record, my passion project, an old-school country album,” Mauboy said.

Before her breakthrough on Australian Idol, Mauboy won the Telstra Road To Tamworth competition in 2004 at the age of 14.

“Country music is who I really, really am deeply. Listening to country music as a kid allowed my imagination to run wild.” 

Classic Australian songs including Goanna’s Solid Rock and The Church’s Under the Milky Way were recorded for the second series of Channel 7’s The Secret Daughter, which Mauboy finished filming last week.

Her new single Fallin’, which is now at No. 8 on iTunes, has also been written into one scene in the hit drama.

Mauboy will perform at this year’s Gympie Muster in August, alongside Australian country music artists.
