Original 'Redneck Woman' to sing at the Phil

NAVAJO TIMES
of atmosphere. It's a 'jump up
out of your seat and have a party'
atmosphere," she said.
"We want to see everyone out
there have a great time and we
always have a good time on stage,"
she said. "We want the audience
to be part of the show with us."
Wilson, a 37-year-old former
bartender from Pocahontas, IlL, is
the real deal. She wears her identity
proudly. As her signature song,
"Redneck Woman," says, she's an
independent, take-no-nonsense,
hard-working and hard-partying
country girl.
Both her songs and her style have
a gritty authenticity that evokes
cheers from her fans and respect
from pretty much everyone. Her
'debut album shot her into stardom
while her follow-up, "All Jacked
Up," earned platinum status.
Her third album, "One of the
Boys," confirmed Wilson's position
in the pantheon of true originals
alongside Loretta Lynn, Tammy
Wynette, Dolly Parton and Tanya
Tucker.
In 2009 Wilson launched her
WINDOW ROCK - In 2004
Gretchen Wilson became a country
music phenomenon when her song
"Redneck Woman" spent six weeks
at No. 1 and her debut album, "Here
For the Party," sold more than five
million copies.
She won numerous awards
including a Grammy, ACM, CMA
and AMA nods for best female
vocalist and she toured to large
and boisterous crowds all over the
world.
Next Wednesday, March 23,
Wilson is making a stop at the Phil
L. Thomas Performing Arts Center
i n Shiprock.
"We're always excited to go
anywhere to play a show," Wilson
said in a telephone interview
Tuesday. "We always have a great
time. It doesn't matter where we
are. We come and play and have
fun and just have a party with the
crowd.
"It's definitely not 'An evening
with...' or not a relaxed quiet kind

own label, Redneck Records,
giving her full control over her
music, publishing and fan club.
It's located on her 400-acre ranch
outside Nashville, where she also
has a studio.
'We're always
excited to go
anywhere to
play a show.
We always
have a great
time. It doesn't
matter where
we are.
With her family running the
ranch, Wilson keeps busy recording
and promoting her most recent
album, "I Got Your Country Right
Here," released in March 2010.
She has toured nonstop since then
to promote it.
"I've got to stay busy to promote
the music and make money to keep
things at the ranch going and I have
a lot of friends that are working for
me that I got to keep employed,"
Wilson said.
Having the creative freedom
to make music is what she aimed
for, back when she started singing
with a bar band. And more than she
imagined possible when she was
singing along to CDs at Big O's
outside Pocahontas, a roughneck
joint that she managed with a
double-barrel shotgun stashed
behind the bar for protection.
"Thanks for having me come out
and play and I hope that they are
ready for a great time and we're
looking forward to it," W'flson said.
