Gretchen Wilson To Perform During Colts-Ravens Playoff Game

Gretchen Wilson is taking part in the NFL playoffs. The "Redneck Woman" is slated to perform when the Indianapolis Colts take on the Baltimore Ravens in the Divisional Round of the playoffs next weekend. She's slated to take the field during halftime to sing her latest release, "Work Hard, Play Harder." The country star says she's looking forward to the game. Wilson notes, quote, "Halftime sets are fun, because you just go out there and rock out." She adds, quote, "There are going to be a lot of TVs tuned into this game, and I'm sure that stadium is going to be electric!" In addition, Wilson will perform the national anthem at the start of the game, which will air on CBS Saturday night.

"Work Hard, Play Harder" is from Wilson's upcoming album, "I Got Your Country Right Here." The CD, due out this spring, will be the first release from her newly launched Redneck Records label.
