Jessica Simpson's long-awaited country album is due out September 9, her father Joe tells Usmagazine.com.

"It's going to be a great year," he told Us at a taping of Pete Wentz's new show F'N MTV in Hollywood Thursday.

"It's 9-9; she's into nines this year," he added. "We hope it's a wonderful joy. It feels really good. She is extremely happy."

The video for "Come on Over," her first single, debuts on her Web site Saturday.

"Next week it'll be on CMT," Joe said.

Joe said his daughter who turned 28 Thursday is perfect for country music, calling it "the heartland of America."

"We forget on the East and West coasts that there is a whole country in between," Joe said. "That's our home, and that's Jessica's home."

Look back at Simpson's sexy - and scary! - style over the years.

Asked why she recorded a country album, Jessica told Billboard earlier this year: "I am a country girl. I grew up in Texas, and country music was what I listened to."

Citing Martina McBride, newly single Shania Twain, Faith Hill and Reba McEntire as inspirations, she said, "I think there is a strength in female country artists."

This weekend, Simpson is headed to Lake Tahoe, where beau Tony Romo is playing in a golf tournament.

"We'll probably rent a boat and go out on the lake on Saturday," Romo told Us.

    "a great country voice"?? Jessica sounds like she's mimicing Britney everytime she performs. The #1 fan of her voice is Joe Simpson while she's saying "Oh, Daddy... oh Daddy, oh yeah"

    I'm from Texas and I wouldn't listen to her %@!*# or any other country music. She's going to keep trying until she finds something she can sing.
