For her first album released on her own imprint, Gretchen Wilson showed that she didn't need big-label backing to deliver her roughneck take on country. The title tune finds her name-checking her Southern rock heroes over incendiary guitars, while the driving beat and sawing fiddles of "Work Hard, Play Harder" make her agenda even more explicit. But amid all the outlaw-and-proud-of-it country-rocking, she still finds room for some tenderness, as on the spare, romantic closing ballad, "I'd Love to Be Your Last."
