The Black Crowes have filed a copyright-infringement suit against Wilson, accusing her of stealing parts from their 1991 hit “Jealous Again” on her new single.
The Crowes have also filed a suit against her label, Sony BMG, her publishing company, J Money Music, and TNT, a cable T.V. network that uses Wilson’s sing in promotional videos for the new season of Saving Grace.
Gretchen Wilson first made a splash in the country music scene in 2004 with her hit “Red Neck Woman.” And according to the Black Crowes, she’s more than just a red neck woman. She’s a thief.
"We find the musical verses of Wilson's song to be such an obvious example of copyright infringement that I expect all parties to reach a relatively quick resolution to avoid legalization,” said The Crowes manager.
