Gretchen & Cingular "All Jacked Up"

Cingular Wireless has announced the debut of Gretchen Wilson's latest single "All Jacked Up" through Cingular Sounds, an innovative music program that launches new singles as ringtones on wireless phones either before they are heard anywhere else, or simultaneous with their debut on radio.

This marks the first wireless content offering from Wilson and the first exclusive country music suite of content released through the program.

"I'm incredibly excited at this opportunity to share Gretchen Wilson's music with the Cingular world," John Grady, President, Sony Music Nashville told our buddy Neil Haislop. "The launch of leading country artist Gretchen Wilson solidifies our leadership within wireless entertainment and builds on the momentum and diversity of our past artists," said John Burbank, vice president of marketing, Cingular Wireless. "This announcement introduces our first exclusive country music artist into the Cingular Sounds family, helping expand our wireless music content."

Hmm. ..Wonder if this is being done because they worry that it may be too left of center for radio? Yet, that is being said before hearing it, (though I am a Cingular subscriber, so I have joined the crowd, signed up for the ringtone as soon as it's available).
