 Sydney,AU(SONY BMG Music Entertainment) - Country's finest party gal Gretchen Wilson has debuted at a stunning No 1 on the US Billboard Albums chart and the Billboard Top Country Albums chart with her new album 'All Jacked Up'. Gretchen's sophomore album looks set to follow in the footsteps of her debut smash 'Here For The Party'. Gretchen Wilson is back with a vengeance! The honky-tonk heroine has stormed the US charts, and taken out the No 1 spot on the Billboard Albums chart with her second album 'All Jacked Up'. Our favourite redneck woman has had a career best sales week in the US according to Nielsen SoundScan, selling 264,000 copies of the album. This follows on from the amazing success of her debut album 'Here For The Party', which delivered the killer track 'Redneck Woman' and has sold close to four million copies across the globe.
Here's what a few people have been saying about 'All Jacked Up'... "'All Jacked Up' finds the Nashville singer chugging whiskey and beer and working the puns on 'One Bud Wiser', chewin' tobacco with her dude on 'Skoal Ring' and getting dirty with old country hack Merle Haggard with 'Politically Uncorrect'. It's all set to a riotous honky-tonk soundtrack and the kind of album that will scare the bejesus out of Norah Jones fans and win over those who think Kid Rock has gone soft. As the autobiographical 'Not Bad for a Bartender' attests, Wilson is the real deal. We like that in our women." - e-online "...Wilson is more than a stereotype, though she sings the praises of men who dip snuff and getting so wasted you break into your own truck with a tire iron... Look beneath the boisterous surface and you'll find a burgeoning superstar building a repertoire of substance". - USA Today (three-and-a-half stars out of four) "...just like her first record, she and Rich lead off with a rockin' title track that's a besotted tall tale of drinking, flirting and - upping the ante a little this time - brawling with a jealous woman and bashing out the window of her locked truck. Likewise, 'California Girls' is this year's 'Redneck Woman'..." - Washington Post
