What Are Gretchen Wilson’s Best Songs?
After “Redneck Woman,” she released “Here for the Party” as a radio single and returned to her hard-edged roots again and again throughout the years with songs like “All Jacked Up,” “Rowdy” and “Little Miss Runner Up.”
You may be surprised to find a ballad at No. 1, however. Wilson never got enough credit for her vocal and emotional range, and songs like “I Don’t Feel Like Loving You Today” (find it at No. 4) prove it.
A case could be made that she was unfairly typecast as just the “Redneck Woman,” and to some degree, she and her record label fed that narrative by returning to the familiar style again and again for radio singles.
More than twenty years later, it’s clear that any discussion of her songs deserves more nuance. Enjoy Gretchen Wilson’s best songs beyond “Redneck Woman.” Click any song title to hear the song in full.
