The tragedy was what went unrecognized: a moment-capturing songwriter, classic country vocalist, feminist ideal, single mother, modern blue collar icon. Those aspects never emerged. Even her second album's best moments: a cover of Billie Holiday's "God Bless the Child" and the Grammy-nominated "I Don't Feel Like Loving You Today," failed to ratify those other aspects of the woman with the chainsaw vocal chords...

With Right On Time Gretchen Wilson returns after a three year hiatus with the first of three planned album releases in 2013 (a tribute to Classic/Southern Rock and a Christmas record are on the docket). And it's an album that doesn't find Wilson chasing trends anymore and there's good reason for this as she states inside the album cover jacket: Everything has evolved and I'm more in the moment now than I used to be. In fact, I'm probably right on time.....

Gretchen Wilson, that redneck woman, has just released the first album on her own label, Redneck Records. And I Got Your Country Right Here is a defiant statement of purpose. Wilson is on her own now, so she can play by her own rules. Her country is as much Southern rock (with a shout-out to Lynyrd Skynyrd on the title track) as it is outlaw country (spelled out on "Outlaws and Renegades"). There is plenty here that will appeal to redneck women and men alike...

Gretchen Wilson's sophomore effort, "All Jacked Up," is a hoot from start to finish. It's a worthy successor to the multi-platinum debut "Here for the Party," and it will likely be another smash hit for the singer. The self-proclaimed "Redneck Woman" gets the party going in uproarious fashion with the album's title track and continues to honky-tonk her way through countrified ballads and barroom bruisers...

Consisting of 11 tracks, Gretchen Wilson's Greatest Hits album represents the artist's run from 2005-2009 as a Sony Music Nashville recording artist and while she didn't get much bigger than her debut single "Redneck Woman" or the follow-up singles from Here For The Party, Gretchen certainly cultivated a strong image for herself as the voice of the hard-workin' blue collar woman...

"Well I'm an eight ball shooting double-fisted drinking son of a gun," hollers Gretchen Wilson on her first single, Here for the Party, and you roll your eyes and think, oh Lord. Redneck Woman, her second single, is even hokier. But you're still kind of happy for her: After all, she has a great story...

Is there a pop star right now who embodies the multifaceted glory of the American woman better than Gretchen Wilson? Gwen's too Hollywood, Beyoncé's too unattainable, Mariah's?well, Mariah's a little erratic. Kelly Clarkson comes close, but she's a bit too sweet. Wilson, however, wouldn't even shake sweet's hand...

In 2004, Gretchen Wilson fired off a scorching opening salvo that she hasn't matched since. "Redneck Woman" billed her as a tough-talking champion for a flock of country belles. With songs drawn from her Southern Illinois upbringing, Wilson served as a drinkin'-and-cussin' counterpoint to the glamour girls who'd sprouted up all over CMT. The rookie reveled in her outcast status: "Some people look down on me," she sneered, "but I don't give a rip...
