Jennifer Nettles

Sugarland singer Nettles assembled an A-list team for her first solo album, That Girl. Butch Walker, Sara Bareilles and Richard (fuckin') Marx co-penned the big-sky hooks that aim for that huge bullseye of the American heartland. The 39-year-old even covers Seger's "Like a Rock." Bearded guru Rick Rubin produced the 11 tales of trucks and tears.
