If 2015 was a year of big changes for Jennifer Nettles, then 2016 will be a year of big debuts. She’s got new music coming out in the form of a new album titled "Playing With Fire," which she dished about during a visit to the Taste of Country Nights booth before the CMA Awards. She also opened up about her television movie, which will help close the door on this year.
"It's called 'Coat of Many Colors,' it'll be out Dec. 10 on NBC,” Nettles explains. “Its the story of Dolly Parton's childhood and I play her mother when she was a little girl.”
Nettles was also in "Chicago" on Broadway this year, but don’t let her growing acting resume convince you she’s not dedicated to country music new music will be out soon! The singer will soon embark on the CMT Next Women of Country Tour, which will help her to promote those new songs.
