Synopsis

Album Description

Known to many as the Queen of Rockabilly, Wanda Jackson is a maverick performer and one of rock 'n' roll's original bad asses who helped stake out a direct route from the feral origins of rock to the punks, riot grrrls, and psychobilly boundary-busters 50 years later. Kelly Hogan, Neko Case, Jesse Sykes & The Sweet Hereafter, Robbie Fulks, Wayne "The Train" Hancock, Bottle Rockets, Laura Cantrell, Candye Kane, Nora O'Connor, and Rosie Flores pay tribute to this renegade in their own styles of country, blues, rock, rockabilly, gospel, honky tonk, and swing. From outright barn-burners and rave-ups to songs of heartbreak and tangible pathos, the spirit of Jackson is given new life in the voices and attitudes of these descendants of the Hard-Headed Woman.

CD Reviews

You must buy this CD!!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I just can't believe this CD hasn't been reviewed here yet! This has been one of my best listening pleasures of 2004, easily! Not only it made me hear some great favorite singers (and their bands) of mine, Neko Case and Laura Cantrell among them, but also it made me discover some exciting others I hadn't heard before, like Kim Lenz, as well as The Ranch Girls & the Ragtime Wranglers. I bought their records after and haven't been disappointed. They make retro rock'n'roll, but it's a delight, and rock'n'roll will never die, everybody knows that! There are 21 songs here, paying tribute to Wanda Jackson, the first lady of rock'n'roll, and each is at least good, and often great! The performances of Asylum Street Spankers, Rosie Flores, Wayne Hancock, Jesse Dayton and many others are top-notch. This the best tribute album of my collection so far, with a beautiful cover art (Jon Langford), and a rich booklet. This CD doesn't only celebrate Wanda as she deserves to be, it also leads you to many other artists and bands you need to hear the personal sound and music as well. Long live rock'n'roll, country and rockabilly!"
