Meet Bridgette Tatum, she's witty, sassy, beautiful and..."She's Country", which is also the title of the Number 1 hit song she co-wrote for Jason Aldean. She is a lot of things, but no words can distill the essence of Bridgette Tatum better than her own: “Sex, church, and chicken. That’s what it’s all about.”
This firecracker brunette was raised on the tent revival brand of soul-shaking gospel, swirling with the Holy Spirit and saturated with raw passion. “Music is what I was put on this earth to do,” she explains, “and it comes from something much bigger than me. I’m just a vessel for the music.”
Bridgette also wrote, and sings one of my all time favorite songs, "I like My Cowboys Dirty" from her album "Sex. Church & Chicken," and you should check out her latest single, "That's Love Y'All."
#COOL FACT: Bridgette's label Root Forty-Nine Records is owned by NASCAR Driver Ryan Newman (+ wife Krissie) and "Music Row" publisher Carolyn Miller.
