Maren Morris is in Hawaii this weekend playing at a songwriting festival but she's starting to think about writing for her nexxt album.

Maren told us last month, "I've been touring the record (Girl) all year and I hate writing on the road. I just am not one of those who can do it."

She adds that this time around, her unborn baby and motherhood might find its way into her songs, "I would assume that when I go into the writing room, the next time I'll be writing what's on my heart. And. Yeah. Who knows? This little guy might be a big source of inspiration. I will say that I was writing with the Love Junkies (songwriting team Liz Rose, Lori McKenna, and Hillary Lindsey) and they were the first people I told after I told Ryan (about the baby) and they were just so excited. They're all mothers."

Nancy Brooks has been working in the country music industry for almost 30 years. She has interviewed pretty much any country star you can think of. In the late 1990s, she started working with Dolly Parton. And yes, Nancy reports that Parton is as sweet as you would think. She loves her life in country music and has been backstage at every CMA Awards show since the late 1990s. Many of her stories are from her one-on-one interviews. She was there at the beginning of the incredible careers of many music superstars today, including Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, and Blake Shelton, and has interviewed them multiple times throughout the years.
