Wanda Jackson - Rockabilly Queen Prolongs Her Party

“I have more celebrity status now than I ever had in my life, and I appreciate it more. I’ve paid my dues in the business, but I’ve been rewarded for it. Almost every night someone will come and say, ‘After hearing you and seeing you on YouTube, I’ve always wanted to form a girl band — and I’ve done it.”  

Wanda Jackson, one of the reasons I started playing and continue to play rock ‘n’ roll.

First Listen: Wanda Jackson, 'The Party Ain't Over' → npr.org

I’m sooo excited about this!

“Wanda Jackson is a rare and special icon of rock ‘n’ roll: Known as the Queen of Rockabilly, she’s been a pioneer in carving out a place for women in rock.

The Party Ain’t Over, Jackson’s first studio album in eight years, features 12 cover songs produced by Jack White. It also showcases a generous smattering of guest artists, including Jackson Smith (Patti Smith’s son), Karen Elson (White’s wife) and Jack Lawrence (of The Raconteurs and The Greenhornes), among others. Most songs feature between eight and twelve musicians, and the result is a dense but impeccably crafted blanket of sound.”

Um, so Jack White made magic with Loretta Lynn and I am SO into this idea. Listening now!
