Product Description

Country music newcomer Gretchen Wilson burst onto the Nashville scene in 2004 with a top-selling debut album. She has quickly made a name for herself in the industry after only a year, thanks to that breakout first album, “Here for the Party,” which ranked fifth in 2004 album sales for all formats. Sales have already topped 2.9 million units worldwide, and that number continues to climb. In addition to her album, Wilson was also a Grammy winner in 2004 and a Country Music Association Horizon Award winner. The single mom has taken her career to unforeseen heights and is one of the most exciting country music artists of the new millennium. The new book Gretchen Wilson celebrates her life and the incredible country music accomplishments she has already managed.

You could go online and get the same pictures and read the same snippets of info. about GW. The publisher should be ashamed to charge $19.95 for this book.
