I'm not really into alternative country - I'm into Patsy Cline, who lived down the street from where I lived, and old Dolly Parton records, Kitty Wells and that old stuff. I like country music. I also like Eric Church, who has a great new sound but also holds onto that old sound. Valerie June alternativechurchcline share on social
I met PJ Harvey when I was in England, and the first thing I want to do when I meet a songwriter I admire is to ask them how do they receive songs. Valerie June admireenglandharvey Change image and share on social
I was working like a dog as a housekeeper, barista, nanny, cook, so I could save enough money to really sit with my instruments. Whenever I had 20 minutes, I would practice a new chord or write a new verse. Valerie June baristachordcook share on social

When I was teenager, Britney Spears was it - that was the pop world that was happening, and I knew I wasn't in it. Valerie June britneyhappenknow Change image and share on social
My signature fragrance would be herbal - basil mixed with rosemary and coriander. Some big stars have got perfume lines that smell really bad. They've got it all wrong. Valerie June badbasilbig Change image and share on social
As I try to get around with a guitar, a banjo and a suitcase of high heels and dresses, I treasure that little ukulele. Valerie June banjodressguitar Change image and share on social
I grew my dreadlocks 12 years ago because they give me the freedom to roll out of bed and not spend hours on my woolly, thick hair. I get tons of dropped jaws and compliments, so I reckon folks like them all right. Valerie June agobedcompliment share on social
As soon as I could talk, I was bellowing at the top of my lungs. My parents couldn't get over how weird I sounded - like an old man when I was just a toddler! But no one was gonna shut me up. Valerie June bellowgonnalung Change image and share on social
