About Good Ol' Girls, Libby Seymour says:
Who wouldn't want to be a part of bringing to life the 'down-home' words of Lee Smith and Jill McCorkle? And singing the wonderful tunes of Matraca Berg and Marshall Chapman? Good Ol' Girls offers a sweet, sometimes painful, always touching, glimpse into the diverse lives ofwomen we've all known. As a southern woman, I found the words slippedoff my tongue like the molasses we used to sop up with beaten buttermilk biscuits.
There's a certain challenge to creating a character in just a few phrases. But knowing that a good ol' girl will always tell you the truth gives you the sensibility and voice to bring it on home. And I do mean those familiar and indelible voices forever imprinted in your mind--mama, grandmother, a favored aunt or teacher, that high school chum, a college roommate...I guess there's alittle good ol' girl inside most of us.
