I freely admit to enjoying my fair share of country music, from Waylon Jennings to Garth Brooks, The Judds to Faith Hill. Lately I'd been hearing buzz about Gretchen Wilson's song, "Redneck Woman." Returning from vacation, I got around to ordering her debut CD, Here For the Party, which arrived to today, coincidentally Wilson's 31st birthday.
Theme-wise, "Redneck Woman" reminds me of Garth Brooks's "Friends in Low Places," an unabashed proclamation of the singer's roots (in Wilson's case, the farm town of Pocahontas, Illinois).
And now for some segue-less whiplash--it's also Derek Jeter's 30th birthday. Once mired in an early slump, Jeter is back to the winning ways that made him the hands-down choice for Yankee captain.
