A must if you are a Gretchen Wilson and friends fan but not really my cup of tea. This should have been called Unplugged but maybe MTV won't allow the use of unplugged?

I think I might have been converted...........

"Like another reviewer I happened to see this on TV one evening and was really impressed with the quality of Gretchen's voice. I'm not a big country fan but I liked what I heard. After I checked the TV listings and found the show wasn't scheduled to be shown again, I checked to see if it was available on DVD. And here we are. While I wouldn't pay $20 for this DVD due to limited content, I was more than happy to take it for a fraction of that. Gretchen and her band sound great in what is really an acoustic jam session after a concert featuring songs from "All Jacked Up". The video quality is very good, and the audio is better than the CD I think. At least a couple of other band members ought to do their own albums because they seem to have the talent to carry the show."

Gretchen's the one to watch...

"There's no doubt about the fact that Gretchen's a "country singer," but there's a lot more under the surface for those who are willing to look. She's actually a performer who can comfortably step outside of the "CMT" boundaries...WAY out. I really had my eyes opened when I saw her performance on VH1's "Heart: Decades Live." She started out with a nice duet with Ann Wilson on Heart's hit "Even It Up," but then the two jumped head-first into a faithful, energetic reading of Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll." This lady's got the pipes, no doubt about it. They didn't do a "polite" version of the song...they went for the throat. It was a genuine "goose bump" moment. So yes, this DVD is brief, and yes, the price is reasonable for the content offered (I paid ten bucks for mine). Gretchen is, and probably will remain, a "country singer," and there's a certain amount of loyalty and sticking to tradition that audience expects. But the performers who are in it for the long haul are also rewarded with the freedom to try new things and expand their boundaries, and if there's one thing I've learned about Gretchen in the last couple of years, it's the fact that there's a lot...a LOT...more going on than "Skoal Ring." She's the performer to watch. She's got the looks, the talent, and she seems to be wearing her success up to this point very well. Buy this DVD and enjoy a true performer at work."

Shows Gretchen as a REAL singer!

"I absolutely LOVED this special that was aired on CMT. It shows what a true singer Gretchen really is...nothing fake about her!!!



To Anonymous "Country Music Fan":

The musicians that happen to be playing with Gretchen are HER BAND. Also joining in is someone from Kenny Chesney's band....his name is Wyatt(the keyboard player)."
