QUICK TAKES - July 30, 2009

Gretchen Wilson plans to start her own record label and she’d like to call it, naturally, Redneck Records.

Wilson, 36, who became a country sensation with her 2004 down-home anthem “Redneck Woman,” said Wednesday that if things go well she’ll release a new single in September and a new album in November.

Wilson’s longtime label group, Sony Music Nashville, announced Tuesday that she and the company had parted ways after three albums. Sony described the split as mutual.
