While Gretchen Wilson's highly successful debut, HERE FOR THE PARTY, was a redneck manifesto for how to have a good time, her 2005 follow-up, ALL JACKED UP, is the next day's eyeopener. Wilson still gets drunk and quarrelsome on the raucous opening title track, but most of this 2005 album is surprisingly low-key, as a number of gentle ballads rub elbows with rural-minded mid-tempo songs (most notably "Politically Uncorrect," featuring the legendary Merle Haggard). Although Wilson mostly sticks to no-frills working-class anthems, she also sneaks in a beautifully melancholy Billie Holiday-like take on the jazz standard "Good Morning Heartache" as a hidden bonus track, showing that this "Redneck Woman" has a charmingly unpredictable streak.
Personnel: Gretchen Wilson (vocals, guitar); Merle Haggard (vocals); J.T. Corenflos (acoustic guitar, electric guitar); John Willis, Bryan Sutton (acoustic guitar); Dean Hall, Kenny Greenberg, Tom Bukovac (electric guitar); Paul Franklin , Russ Pahl (steel guitar, lap steel guitar); Mike Johnson (steel guitar); Jonathan Yudkin (fiddle); Steve Nathan (piano, Hammond b-3 organ); Glenn Worf, Michael Rhodes (bass guitar); Eric Darken, Shannon Forrest, Chad Cromwell (drums, percussion); Wes Hightower, Liana Manis, Jon Nicholson (background vocals).

something new and fresh i really dig the singer song writers. any pretty face can sing the songs. it takes a real poet to get there own words out and make them into songs. one bud wiser and not bad for a bartender is pure honky tonk. i glad to see nashville did not manage to kill another poet. she is not trying to be what someone else wants her to be. waylon, tammy wynett, janis joplin all knew they had something to say and they new the fans would eat it up if we could get to it. and to rose in blue streem, yes woman can smoke, and drink, and vote and drive cars now. will let you be our role model.

I thought this was about the music What is the deal with criticizing Gretchens looks? The last I knew this was about rating the CD. I love the fact that she is a singer/songwriter and a good mucician too. I seen her for the first time when she work at Bourban street bar in Nashville. She is going to be around as long as she wants to. Her songs have a fresh feel and approach, which is nice for a change in country music. Skoal ring is a hoot, politically uncorrect (w/Haggard) is my Favorite. She is just a normal person who has had a hard life before catching a ride on her star.
