Queen of Rockability

In 2009, Wanda Jackson was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as an early influence. As a teenager in the 1950's, Jackson played a pivotal role in the progression of modern music, particularly where female artists were concerned. More significantly, Jackson was the first woman to perform risqué rock and roll. She also dated Elvis Presley for a short period of time. Now, at the age of seventy-three, she surprised the music industry with her latest album release. Primarily covers, The Party Ain’t Over is an eclectic tribute to Bob Dylan and other notable artists. Check out her phenomenal cover of Amy Winehouse's "You Know I'm No Good".
