"Redneck Woman" is the debut single of American country music artist Gretchen Wilson. Released in 2004, the single served as the lead-off to her multi-platinum debut album Here for the Party. The song was also Gretchen's first (and to date, her only) Number One single on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts, and also earned her a No. 22 pop hit in the U.S.
The song, which is considered Gretchen's signature song,[1] also earned a Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance in 2005.[2]
In 2005 Jill Johnson covered the song on her album Being Who You Are.
[edit] Alternate versions and parodies
- In late 2004, Gretchen recorded a re-written version, titled "Red Bird Fever" to commemorate the St. Louis Cardinals' entering the World Series.[3]
- On his 2005 album Bipolar and Proud, country music parodist Cledus T. Judd recorded a parody, titled "Paycheck Woman".
