Ayla Brown, Senator Scott Brown's Daughter, Goes Country

BOSTON — Ayla Brown is going country.

The former "American Idol" contestant is moving to Nashville, Tenn., to test her talents as a country singer.

Her father, Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts, told The Associated Press this week that music producers in Nashville "want to work with her."

Ayla Brown's website says she's spending the coming week writing and recording at Starstruck Studios. It says she's moving there in early February.

The senator says he supports all his daughters' activities "as long as they're safe and healthy and using their heads."

Ayla Brown was a basketball star at Boston College. She now is a special correspondent for "The Early Show" on CBS.

She recently returned from entertaining U.S. troops in Afghanistan.

Oh come on .. she is young, beautiful and may have talent... she is striking out on her own, and good for her.

Good luck Ayla.

I agree ... politics should not be involved here (coming from a liberal Dem) ... best of luck to her!

Never seen her.  Only heard about her when her dad tried to pimp her out.

She was an AI contestant; made it to the final 24 (or 12?) I think. Pretty, with a prety good voice, and seemed like a nice young lady.

No wonder.  I don't watch American Idol (I had to google AI to find out what you were referring to).  I doubt I'll hear about her again.

When drummer Buddy Rich went for cancer treatment, his doctor asked if he had any allergies. Rich said "Country music".
