Gretchen Wilson Accused Of Copyright Infringement By Black Crowes
Attorneys representing the Black Crowes claim a song performed by Gretchen Wilson is partly based on the bands 1991 hit “Jealous Again”.
The song in question, “Work Hard, Play Harder” is currently being used by the TNT network during ads for the Saving Grace TV show.
According to Billboard the Black Crowes attorneys have served copyright infringement notices to Wilson, her record label Sony BMG and J Money Music. Wilson co-wrote the song with John Rich and Vicky McGehee according to the ASCAP Web site.
“Work Hard, Play Harder” has not been released as a single by Wilson. Brothers Chris and Rich Robinson of the Black Crowes wrote “Jealous Again” which was featured on the bands 1990 debut album “Shake Your Money Maker”.
In a statement the Black Crowes manager Pete Angelus said, “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 litigation.”
A spokesman for Wilson said that Wilson had no comment regarding the allegations.
