NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles is releasing a solo album.
Nettles says Friday in a news release that she is working with Rick Rubin and will release the album later this year.
Rumours that Nettles would release a solo album have been prevalent for a while. Grammy Award-winning Sugarland includes Kristian Bush and is one of country music's most successful and honoured acts. The duo remains together, but each is working solo currently.
The news comes six months after the 38-year-old singer had her first child, a son, with husband Justin Miller.
Nettles says in the release she is "absolutely thrilled and wholly proud" to work with Rubin, an acclaimed producer who helped country act The Dixie Chicks win a best album Grammy.

My thoughts: At first glance of this today, my gut reaction was .....oh no the end of a good thing.....as I am a big fan of Sugarland (gotta support the home town team sometimes). Then I thought about it for a while, in terms of Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks. Stevie has had a wonderful solo career apart from Fleetwood and some magical albums have come of it. So good for you Jennifer, best of luck in this outlet of creativity!
