Brave, bold move...and it's very entertaining
By Mike VINE VOICE on June 5, 2013
Format: MP3 Music
First things first...on her new CD, Gretchen tackles cover versions of 12 classic rock songs, and she does NOT perform "country versions" of them. The instrumental backing and arrangements are kept so close to the originals that what you're really getting here is a Country girl who's never been shy about exposing her Rocker heart turning in renditions that are VERY faithful to the originals. This is NOT "a country album."

She comes straight out of the gates with a powerhouse version of Rod Stewart & Faces' "Stay With Me," complete with all of the original Ron Wood guitar parts. Her vocals are straight Rod, she's not being coy at all, she just pulls the pin and tosses the grenade. And to her credit, she doesn't pull a gender shift on the lyrics...Stewart used this song as a showcase for some of his his most extreme bad boy rocker strutting and she does pretty much the same.

This is the point where most people are going to criticize the album and go on about how the songs are such carbon copies, but if you were THERE when these songs were HITS, the "glass half full" view is that the album is a lot of FUN because Gretchen herself is a lot of fun. If you don't believe me, head on over to YouTube and watch her in Big & Rich's "Fake ID" video. She'll be turning 40 at the end of the month (June 2013), and she could give MANY up and coming divas half her age a lesson in attitude and sex appeal. Some people may have never made it past the point of "Redneck Woman," admittedly a song (and accompanying manifesto) that's not everyone's cup of tea. That's a shame, because that's an aspect of her career that doesn't tell the whole story.

"Doctor My Eyes" benefits from some nice harmony vocals that add a little sweetness to the bittersweet of the original.Read more ›

A few hits, but mostly misses on this cover CD.
By D. C. Stolk on December 26, 2013
Format: Audio CD
When I bought this CD, I thought: Wow! Gretchen is gonna rock the house with these songs! I know she can deliver, just check out her fantastic rendition of Heart's "Barracuda" on Youtube (now why wasn't that song on this album? It's classic rock from the `70s and she knocks that one right out of the ballpark in terms of matching the amazing vocals of Ann Wilson).

But sadly, this 12-track album is for the most part a prime example of how not to do a cover album. Doing covers of classic rock from the `70s can be a tricky business. You either should have an original take on them (I had expected Gretchen to do a country adaptation of these songs, which might also have failed but at least could have been interesting) or you should have the power-vocals to do these classics justice if you want to do faithful-to-the-original renditions.

The songs she covers are "Stay With Me" (Faces), "Doctor My Eyes" (Jackson Browne), "Everybody Wants You" (Billy Squier), "Bell Bottom Blues" (Derek and the Dominos), "Funk #49" (James Gang), "Hot Blooded" (Foreigner), "Over The Hills & Far Away" (Led Zeppelin), "I Want You To Want Me" (Cheap Trick), "Lights" (Journey), "Her Strut" (Bob Seger), "Bad Company" (Bad Company) and "Into The Mystic" (Van Morrison).

I like Gretchen's vocals and CDs and I have a broad taste in music, so I'm not turned away just because she strays out of the boundaries of country. And she might be a redneck woman with a lot of sass and a great voice, but on most of these songs she suddenly seems to lack the "rock chick" power to do them justice. In fact, some of these covers sound like her heart wasn't in them. They are curiously flat with just not enough emotion in their delivery; weird, because these are supposed to be some of her favorite `70s rock songs.Read more ›

Decently done, but I can't really see the point
By Sid Nuncius TOP 500 REVIEWER on June 23, 2013
Format: Audio CD
This is a decent collection of cover versions of some classic rock songs. It's well done, Gretchen Wilson has a very good voice and there's nothing whatever to object to about it...but I can't really see the point, to be honest.

It seems to me that if you're going to record a version of a song which most people will know from a great original recording, then you need to do something to make it your own. There are hundreds of great examples, but James Taylor's brilliant and completely different take on Sam Cooke's Handy Man shows what I mean. Here, though, Gretchen Wilson and her band virtually re-create the originals note for note - even down to the distinctive, echoing effect after the words "six-gun sound" in Bad Company. Frankly, if you try to reproduce songs that faithfully which feature guitarists like Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton, and singers like Rod Stewart, Paul Rodgers and Robert Plant you're inevitably going to sound like a not-quite-so-good facsimile of the real thing. I'm afraid that's exactly what happens here.

Wilson sings extremely well, the band are good and each track is perfectly decent - but I kept thinking I'd be better off listening to the original. It's certainly not a bad album, but I can't really see me playing it that often. I'll be going back to Gretchen Wilson's earlier work which is very good indeed.

Didn't know

This CD is all cover songs from different artists. Love Gretchen but would have thought again had I known that this was the case.

Want to love this
By Charlie C on August 25, 2013
Format: Audio CD
I wanted to love this CD when I first heard she was doing this. Anyone who has seen her covers of Heart's Barracuda, Crazy on you, or has seen live her cover of Led Zep's Rock'n'Roll will be slightly disappointed. None of the energy is there for her to really rock out. She's been blessed with the greatest voice on the planet but we barely get to hear it. The production is weird, I have the same problem on her last album, her voice is muted and often in the background. She needs John Rich or Rick Rubin to get this album to rock. It's not awful, it's just not as great as it should be.
