Details: Amazon.ca Here for the Party, this sassy, strong-singing Redneck Woman’s 2004 debut, was a giant smash, but All Jacked Up’s even better: diverse, rockin’, and topped by a sensuous, soulful surprise bonus-track version of Billie Holiday’s « Good Morning Heartache. » Wilson kick-starts this guitar-and-fiddle-fired CD with the title track–a whiskey-drinkin’ sequel to « Redneck »–and the ode to down-home women « California Girls. » « Skoal Ring » suggests that the couple that chaws together stays together, and « One Bud Wiser » is a crafty tongue-in-cheek weeper that pays tribute to George Jones in both its lyrics and Wilson’s copycat phrasing. Another legend, Merle Haggard, celebrates salt-of-the-earth American virtues with Wilson on the duet « Politically Uncorrect. » And « Not Bad for a Bartender » is three and a half minutes of autobiography, detailing the eighth-grade education, floor-sweeping, and saloon-keeping that were all stops on Wilson’s unlikely road to success. Funny, fiery, and moving, All Jacked Up proves this 32-year-old’s career has plenty of mileage left. –Ted Drozdowski Product Description Wilson, Gretchen
