Jackson, Wanda
The Capitol Years 56-63 (clear)
Wanda Jackson is a true pioneer of American popular music. One of the first women in history to record country and western music, as well as rock n roll, and a brief romantic liaison with Elvis.This collection reminds of the greatness of her peak years at Capitol Records. From the mournful twists of "Sinful Heart," to the hard-rocking thrills of "Lets Have A Party" and "Riot In Cell Block Number Nine," Wanda Jackson attacks the material in her distinctive way, with a wry glance at innocence left somewhere behind. All hail the Queen, and long may she reign!
