When it comes to achieving success in the ultra competitive music business, Janie Fricke contends self-confidence is absolutely vital.

"You have to be confident going into this business," explains Fricke, describing her early years in the industry. "If you want to go to Nashville and you want to become a studio singer, a publicist, producer, or anything else you want to do, you have to go in with confidence and know how. You get that in your younger years and constantly grow and learn."

Fricke, who won the Country Music Association's Female Vocalist of the Year award in 1982 and 1983, had plenty of humbling experiences starting out that she used to prepare her for her shot out on her own.

Hello from Janie Fricke:

I have just released my new album Country Side Of Bluegrass available in iTunes now. I would really appreciate it if you could go and give it a listen, I know you are going to love it! If you could then click on "5 stars" for rating it and then I would really like it if you could write a little review of your thoughts about the new music. The review can be one sentence or as long as you like.

Country singer Janie Fricke's new album was just released on Tuesday, but it's already earned rave advance notices from critics.

Titled Country Side of Bluegrass, the album consists of new bluegrass arrangements of Fricke's biggest hit singles like "She's Single Again," "He's a Heartache" and "Tell Me a Lie," along with her versions of country classics including "Please Help Me I'm Falling" and "Ring of Fire."

Between 1982 and 1986, Janie Fricke reeled off seven No. 1 singles as country music fans got to know her as more than a backing vocalist and in-demand duet partner (she also scored No. 1 hits with Charlie Rich and Merle Haggard in 1978 and 1985, respectively). Her run in the US alone through the 1980s consisted of 16 Top 10 singles with a brand of country/pop that paid homage to classic country.
