Which country music star admits that she is a "redneck woman"?

Gretchen Wilson is the country music star who sings about being a “redneck woman.”

“Redneck Woman” was Wilson's debut single, released in 2004 as the lead track from her album Here for the Party. Written by Wilson and John Rich, the song presents a proud, energetic portrait of working-class and small-town identity, celebrating traits such as pickup trucks, country music, and rural roots.

The song became Wilson's signature hit and spent five weeks at No. 1 on the U.S. Hot Country Songs chart. It also crossed over to mainstream audiences, reaching No. 22 on the Billboard Hot 100. The success helped propel Here for the Party to multi-platinum status and established Wilson as a major new voice in country music.

A common mix-up is confusing the singer with one of the artists mentioned in the lyrics, including Tanya Tucker and Hank Williams Jr.; neither performs the original song. Wilson co-wrote and recorded it herself. At the 2005 Grammy Awards, she won Best Female Country Vocal Performance for “Redneck Woman,” confirming the song's importance to her early career.
