Jaclyn Brown, on her official site bio states, "I can't sing a Kid Rock song, but maybe I can write one."

Her album features songs similar to a respectable novel- pure, poignant, and simple. Jaclyn Brown aims to show what life is ultimately about and what most people desire - it's "all [people] dream of—and it's love."
Jaclyn Brown's 'Unsolicited Material' is a country album and so much more.
