Gretchen Wilson Plays Successful Farm Aid Show, Visits with Willie Nelson

Posted by Lisa L. Rollins Oct 9, 2009

Award-nabbing country singer-songwriter Gretchen Wilson delivered a healthy dose of attitude for a hometown crowd at Sunday's Farm Aid in St. Louis, Mo.

The only female on the bill for the day, her set included the hits that made her a household name and a rousing rendition of her new single, Work Hard, Play Harder, which is the debut release on Wilson's newly created Redneck Records, a label she's serving as president of as well as the label's lone music talent.

Following her weekend performance, Wilson spent some time with Farm Aid co-founder Willie Nelson and his wife chatting about the event, her new music and the plot of land she has on her property where she and her family grow a variety of the produce they consume.
