“Redneck Woman” Gretchen Wilson and her first and only record label, Sony Music Nashville, have parted ways it was announced yesterday. Sony announced the split, describing it as a mutual decision.
Wilson shot to fame with her 2004 smash “Redneck Woman.” Her debut album, Here For the Party, sold 5 million copies.
Her next two albums for Sony — 2005’s All Jacked Up and 2007’s One of the Boys — reached No. 1 but didn’t sell nearly as well as her debut and produced only one Top 10 single between them.
Several singles from what would have been her fourth album did poorly on the charts. "Don't Do Me No Good" peaked at 43 in July 2008. "Don't Make Me Take My Earrings Out" was out in April and failed to chart.
Sony says in a statement that while Wilson will no longer record for the label as a solo artist, both parties look forward to working together on catalog projects.
