Her mother was 16 when she had her, and her father moved on when she was two. By the age of 15, with a double-barrel shotgun always at the ready, she was managing a kicker bar in rural Illinois where the corn fields meet the pig farms. That gave Gretchen Wilson something to sing about, with attitude in spades. "You might think I'm trashy, a little too hardcore," she admits on the smash single "Redneck Woman," "but in my neck of the woods I'm just the girl next door." Wilson, already the toast of Nashville before this full-length debut hit the shelves, isn't just putting the trailer park back into country music--she's the antidote to Shania and Faith. Nothing here sounds manufactured or studied, and the best songs are those she wrote. If most of those spotlight the fightin' side that has made "Redneck Woman" an anthem with blue-collar babes, she lets her vulnerability show on her choice of covers, particularly Leslie Satcher's gospel-rap of "Chariot" and the marital weeper "The Bed." Whatever you think of Wilson, who packs a hint of Sammi Smith and Allison Moorer--and even Janis Joplin--into her double-fisted delivery, you won't forget her. Move over, Loretta. Make way, Tanya. Here's another good ol' honky-tonk girl. --Alanna Nash

If you like country music this is an alright CD. The songs that I liked, I loved, but the ones I didn't like, I skipped, so I couldn't even tell you what they were. The CD has a mixture of different kinds of country on it, it's not all "I'm Here for the Party" lyrics (which i love). I could leave some of the slower songs though.
Debut Smash August 3, 2007
Here for the Party is a great debut album from Gretchen Wilson. It probably grates on the nerves of country purists, but whatever, I like it a lot. It is brash and rowdy quite often, with attitude, but not so as to be off-putting. Gretchen bills this as reveling in the kind of trashy side, and lives up to the billing. Her voice is perfect for what this album purports to be. Teh album starts very strong with 4 excellent songs:
Here for the Party - rowdy party anthem
Redneck Woman - celebration of a subculture
When I Think About Cheatin' - good, reflective slower tune. Gretchen can
put real feeling into a ballad tune
Homewrecker - warning to a cookie to stay away from singer's man
The album gets kind of slower in teh middle. Then it gets faster with "When it Rains," which is a good honkytonk tune. The album closes with "Pocahontas" which is a good tune saluting her home town.
Excellent start by Gretchen.
