Muzik Mafia, Gretchen Wilson is one of a handful of artists that was able to go

from relative obscurity to country star in a very short time.  Her first single ‘Redneck Woman’ spent

six weeks at the top of the charts, and her debut album ‘Here For The party’

sold over five million copies. 

She’s won countless awards and performs her live Southern Rock and

country shows many times a year. Gretchen has certainly overcome many obstacles

in her life, and we applaud her for that.

release of ‘I Got Your Country Right Here’ on her very own Redneck Records.
