Hear it Now
View
On her third album, Illinois-bred country powerhouse Wilson again keeps
it real like Budweiser and peeling paint. The barroom anthems and
twangy rockers kick butt here; there are also ballads, most of which stink.
But while there's nothing as exciting as "Redneck Woman," Wilson's
straightforward, pretense-free approach yields good stuff, like the very
catchy title track and the
ZZ Top-esque "There's a Place in the Whiskey." Wilson digs booze, ruins
the suburbs by moving her trashy self in, dislikes a husband who treats
her like his mama, and prays when she feels like it. None of this feels
revelatory, but sometimes it sounds pretty fine.
