Gretchen Wilson, Sony Music Nashville part ways
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — “Redneck Woman” Gretchen Wilson and her longtime record label, Sony Music Nashville, have parted.
Sony announced the split Tuesday, describing it as a mutual decision.
Wilson shot to fame with her 2004 smash “Redneck Woman.” Her debut album, “Here For the Party,” sold 5 million copies.
Her next two albums for Sony — 2005’s “All Jacked Up” and 2007’s “One of the Boys” — reached No. 1 but didn’t sell nearly as well as her debut and produced only one Top 10 single between them.
Sony says in a statement that while Wilson will no longer record for the label as a solo artist, both parties look forward to working together on catalog projects.
Wilson was not immediately available for comment.

I don’t mean to be mean about this, but come on there are alot of female singers who are way better than Taylor Swift, she even knows she could never win an award on her own talents she proved that at the ACM’s when she said oh wow I so hope they keep the EOTY award fan voted so I can win it next year, wow I mean hello do you know how many shows most artists do before they even get a nod, hello, I know she is a great writer but God have you heard her sing?! |
