Wanda Jackson


I don't like very much country music, but once in awhile I do hear something in that genre that fits my general appreciation of music with a rough edge. This weekend I read an article about Wanda Jackson being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and followed a link to some YouTube vids of her older songs. Very early rockabilly style with a great dirty kitten-ish voice. Apparently she found Jesus later in her career but I was still able to get a couple of her early albums from iTunes. It's good to start the week with new tunes, especially when the week is beginning with YET ANOTHER gloomy, rainy Monday. Poop.

This is a live video of Wanda Jackson with an unfortunately crappy piano solo in the middle:


This is just a photo montage, but the song is one of my favorites:
