That’s a dead guy, a slightly un-retired guy and a non-radio sweetheart whose new album [...] -

Though she’s had pretty good album sales the past few years, it seems as though Gretchen Wilson’s may have worn out her welcome with country radio; her last two singles, “If I Could Do It All Again” and “The Earrings Song” failed to chart at all. But Wilson’s nothing if not a scrapper, so she’s [...]

Poets and Prophets: Matraca Berg at Country Music Hall of Fame
Matraca Berg looks like a country singer. She’s slim and pretty. When she speaks, it’s with a strong Kentucky drawl. The boys would gush over her and the girls would all want to be her. But that’s not what Berg is. She’s a songwriter—and a good one at that.
So good, that she was picked to [...]Continue reading "Poets and Prophets: Matraca Berg at Country Music Hall of Fame"

Gretchen Wilson – “If I Could Do It All Again”
Songwriters: Rivers Rutherford, George Teren
Gretchen Wilson’s new single is all about second chances: What she would do if she could do it all again. It seems prescient, if only because Wilson’s own career could use a few do-overs.
