Isn’t that song “Jealous Again” by The Black Crowes?

It great to see Gretchen is back and making her brand of fun loving music! This is a good song and video!

Great song by Gretchen, she can sing any type of song. I do prefer her rowdy songs, but that is just my opinion. Guess I’m just a little rowdy.

I finally listened to this today because a radio station was interviewing her, and I think it's one of the better-sounding tracks I've heard her do post-Here For The Party. She sounds re-energized, although the theme is definitely stale for her. I'm interested to hear if the new album will bring anything new to the table.

I’m with Leeann in preferring Gretchen Wilson as a ballad singer. I wasn’t interested in her debut album at all from the first 2 singles, but ‘When I Think About Cheatin’ changed my mind about her and when I bought the album, I was pleasantly surprised by songs like ‘Holdin’ You’, and especially the stripped-down sound of ‘I Don’t Feel Like Loving You Today’ from her sophomore set.

It’s too bad she’s been type-cast in this party girl role since her finest moments have come from the softer side of Gretchen. I’m still hopeful for an insightful and quality album.

To paraphrase dean Vernon Wormer :”…drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son”.

But then, what would some of today’s country singers have to sing about?! ;)

Seriously, GW is still a breath of fresh air in a lot of ways, even though she is capable of so much better. The Redneck Woman persona is getting old, and I await the day when she finally breaks free.

I think Gretchen so overemphasized the “Redneck Woman” image and attitude that it made it practically impossible for anything even slightly different from that to get played on the radio (“Rebel Child”, for instance, which she described [rather accurately,I think], as very Ronstadt-sounding). Once you get locked into an image of yourself that you’ve pushed, it’s very hard to get out of it.

sounds like another one of those irresponsible drinking songs from her earlier days – “i party down to my last dollar” and “i’m the last to pass out”. is this something to brag about? is she related to TK?
