Now this is more like it. A song-by-song retort to fans who might confine Wilson to some trailer-park queendom and to critics who might dethrone her for All Jacked Up, a half-hearted, hurried sequel to her quintuple-platinum debut, Gretchen Wilson's third album fires on all radio-ready-honky-tonk-and-hillbilly-rock cylinders. It's also a portrait of a tough, talented woman making her own way in what's still largely a man's, man's country world. She gets plenty of help from hot Nashville writers John Rich, Rivers Rutherford, and Vicky McGehee, but her working-class and feminist spin on country archetypes--temptation, whiskey, work, and Mom--is authentic and her own. Even when, as on the title track, she revisits "Redneck Woman," she retools the conceits with one of her best melodies. When she goes for the throat on "You Don't Have to Go Home," with a ripping fiddle line and an AC/DC guitar break, she's not just wailing last call: she's showing the whole honky-tonk who's boss. She still loves classic rock boogie--"Place in the Whiskey" quotes both Bob Seger and the melody of "Call Me the Breeze"--but she counters all the butt-kicking with solid ballads like "Heaven Help Me," "Pain Killer," and "To Tell You the Truth," her most heartbreaking and honest lyric. Funny, feisty, rocking and, best of all, true to herself, Wilson didn't really need a comeback album; nevertheless, she's made one that brings her all the way back. --Roy Kasten

 Gretchen Wilson "One of the Boys" by the Original Redneck Woman! February 7, 2009
Gary Covington (Louisiana)
ANOTHER GREAT CD BY GRETCHEN WILSON!!! This one contains 11 great songs.
Some of my favorites include: "the girl I am", "Come to Bed" with John Rich, "one of the boys", "You don't Have to go Home", "Heaven help me", there goes the neighborhood", and "Good Ole Boy". I got to see Gretchen live in concert in her Redneck Revolution Tour of 2006, She's great and this cd is great. Buy it, You'll like it!!! thanks, and may God Bless!!!
Nice Recovery October 6, 2008

Gretchen's third album is a very good comeback from the somewhat disappointing "All Jacked Up." That album was too racous and pushed the "redneck" idea too much. This album lays off of that and just concentrates on good songs, of which there are a number on this record. The music is unmistakebly country, without pop influence. Gretchen's voice is used very well on the songs and sounds great. Overall a very good album of modern female country.

Gretchen Wilson have made a very good album, with this voice and good lyrics she couldn't fail. I have it on my top 15 list of country albums from the later years. This is her best album yet, I hope she keeps them comming. This redneck woman is just great, she knows how to make us listen to her songs.
Fan for life.
