Released in 2005, All Jacked Up was certainly not a case of that 'difficult second album.' Gretchen Wilson continues in the same vein as her debut release, Here For The Party. Part country, part rock, but with a slightly more polished edge, yet losing none of her hard-edged, girl power vocal delivery.
Opening with the title track All Jacked Up, we get eleven tracks of Southern country rock covering themes of drinking, fighting over a guy in a bar and love, quite often in the space of one song.
In California Girls we even get references to deep fried chicken and 'dirty dancing' girls in a bar, so you can see that deep and meaningful is not too high on the agenda here. What we do get however, with songs such as Full Time Job and One Bud Wiser is quite simply, Gretchen Wilson interpreting the lives and loves of the working man, or indeed woman, but with touch of humour thrown in for good measure.
If you like good time, bar room rock with a healthy dose of good old country, then All Jacked Up will not disappoint. ~ James Soars
