Rockin' With Wanda [LP]

Wanda Jackson is probably best known for her years as a popular, conventional country music singer but she has an international cult following for her work in the early days of rock n' roll when she simply had no peers among female vocalists in her ability to rock out. The somewhat cutesy cover of the 1960 album gives no real clue of scorching vocals contained herein where Ms. J tears into originals like the unforgettable FUJIYAMA MAMA and the anthem-like ROCK YOUR BABY. She complains about her MEAN MEAN MAN (a truly sizzling rocker) and enjoys testing her guy in HOT DOG! THAT MADE HIM MAD. Although a few of the tracks are conventional (and great) country songs and/or ballads, Wanda also deftly combines the two secular genres she loves the most in I GOTTA KNOW which switches the beat from rock verses to country chorus. This bargain-priced CD is an essential for any rockabilly/early rock n'roll/classic country music collection. Today, fifty years later, 73-year-young Wanda can still rock with the best of them and thanks to a new album with Jack White, THE PARTY AIN'T OVER, may be in for the biggest year yet of her career.

For the extraordinarily low price of $6.99 you can get 18 rockabilly gems from Wanda Jackson. This is a great deal. This music is timeless. I realize that Patsy Cline was great, but why isn't Wanda mentioned in the same sentences with her? This is classic music that has a real passion to it, good energy, fun to sing along to and dance to.

Another very good collection of Wanda Jackson, the first real female rockabilly singer. She could really do it all in the 1950-60's on concert.

She's the queen, she's hot, and if you've never heard of her then shame on you. This is a must have CD. Get it now.

Very good music. It did arrive with a cracked jewel case, but otherwise it is great! She's like Elvis, only female and not as popular, but she's still alive and performing!

Prodigious album!

GREAT, GOOD SERVICE

We ordered Rockin' With Wanda and figured it would take a couple of weeks to get it, like most orders do. However, we received this item much quicker and were pleasantly surprised. We both think Amazon is good for business and personal. We will use Amazon again and again. Thanx Amazon!!!

Wanda Jackson is one of the first young women to create a place where women could really be equal with young men singingvery high and low ballads and rough and raw rock n roll as good as their male counterparts which started up in the early daysof rock n roll in the early 1950's and continues up until the days of now 2013You have to listen and understand what Wandahas done to bring in young rock n rollers for todays generation of young people coming into and enjoying the early days of how rock n roll began with the wonderful voices of Brenda lee and the likes.

So many to choose from ..but happy with this

Best of Wanda's Rock.

This is a great reissue of Wanda Jackson's debut releases way back when with numerous bonus tracks.John Walsh

Opération réhabilitation! Récemment je réécoutais tous mes disques de 1960, et j'ai lancé celui-ci sans grande conviction, en me disant que le chant de Wanda Jackson était caricatural ou ringard, le registre un peu vieillot... et voilà qu'il est arrivé numéro 1 sur la pile (juste au-dessus des deux Everly Brothers et du Billy Fury). Cet album est juste excellent et varié, bien accompagné, chanté avec talent, inspiration et même un manque de prétention qui le rend tout-à-fait divertissant, clair, crépitant, frais, bref le contraire d'obsolète!
