Seger has also lived in a number of other places, including Virginia Beach, Va. (where she embraced rap), and London, (where she launched her singing career in earnest at age 19).

"A lot of kids feel that a lot of contemporary music is a bit too polished," he says. "Just as there's a growing affinity for roots-oriented rap, I think there's a growing audience for roots-oriented country that's stripped down and not overproduced."
