After they had pushed Right to Remain Silent to #75 on Billboard Country Charts through their own efforts, Curb Records signed the group.

In attendance also were Jim Wise, JB Stone, MC Potts, and others including the entire road crew for Perfect Stranger!

Perfect Stranger in the "Kitchen" with Jolene. Jim Wise joins in during the interview.

One reason it’s taken so long may the fact that they play 200 gigs each year, at rodeos, festivals and the Texas honky tonk circuit. That added up to 311 days on the road in 1996!

"We’ve got fans driving five and six hours to come to our shows, that’s a big responsibility! Our fans keep us going! We still can’t believe that people line up to get our autographs! Then they start telling us ‘that’s our song’! We’ll stay there until they want to go home! We don’t ever want to get to the point that we’re unattainable. We just don’t look at ourselves as stars. We want to grow up to be nice guys—like Sawyer Brown!"

I know they’ve accomplished that! Once you meet them, you’ll drive out of your way to see them, too! They’re worth it!Perfect Stranger drove over 700 miles out of their way just to visit Jolene’s Kitchen. Of course, she bribed them with a home cooked meal of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, sawmill gravy, home made biscuits baked beans, and Mississippi Mud Cake for dessert. But, that’s Jolene’s Kitchen - great food, friends, music and stories – in the Kitchen!

Jolene’s Kitchen, becomes a weekly radio show, premiering in the winter of 97/98. Jolene’s Kitchen, is like no other radio show you have ever listened to. The show is actually recorded in Jolene’s home just north of Nashville.

Listen as Nashville’s top artists and rising stars take a break from the road, as they return home. Jolene will serve up some good ole’ southern hospitality, homemade biscuits & gravy and maybe a little "Jam". Fans will be able to listen in at Jolene’s as the stars kick back, cut up, tell road stories, strum & hum and spin their favorite songs and latest hits. Jolene will show the fans the human side of the guys & gals out there, traveling the countryside, on their way to and from concerts.
