Though Gretchen Wilson’s songs often depict a life of drinking, partying and other rowdy behavior, life on the road for the country star seems to be pretty tame, from the way Wilson tells it.
That’s partly because she often travels with her young daughter. Wilson describes her tour bus as a kindergarten on wheels, a Disney-ized playland where SpongeBob and the Noggin channel are on a virtual loop.
And as the headliner, Wilson finds more responsibility on her shoulders than when she was the new kid on the block, opening for Kenny Chesney and others while promoting her multiplatinum debut CD, 2004’s “Here for the Party.” As she continues to promote her second CD, the platinum-selling “All Jacked Up,” it’s Wilson who has to pay the catering bills, arrange for the buses and semis that take her crew around, and make sure everything is running smoothly — both on the road and her farm back home in Michigan.
So life is a little more regimented than her freewheeling party days. But Wilson is quick to note that she’s still a “Redneck Woman” — and proud of it.
