Gretchen Wilson
It should go without saying that music is art. But in this
interview
with American Songwriter,
Gretchen Wilson brings up a valid
point. "You don't stand over a painter's back when they're painting and say, 'Oh! I wouldn't use that color, I'm not sure
if it's safe,'" she says. "A song is a piece of art." It's how she looks at music now that she has the creative freedom of
having her own record label. She also admits that she used to be bitter about how pop country had become, but now she realizes
that that's a great thing. And she had a lot to say about the women in all genres of music. Like when the magazine asked her
who the future
Tanyas and
Tammys
were, she said
Reba and
Martina.
And when they asked if she'd ever cross over, she said, "If I ever crossed over, it would be to the dark rock 'n' roll side.
I'm good friends with the gals from Heart, Alice in Chains and Ozzy's band." She added that she could see a "full on
George
and Tammy duet" with
John Rich in her future.
