Torrent description

Its an exciting time to be Wanda Jackson, Austins American-Statesman declared in October on the eve of Jacksons 73rd birthday bash at the Continental Club there. The undisputed Queen of Rockabilly - a touring powerhouse for more than 50 years - is releasing her debut disc for Third Man/Nonesuch Records, the aptly titled The Party Aint Over.

This collection of vintage and contemporary covers was produced by fan and new-found friend Jack White at his Nashville studio and recorded with a late-night honky-tonk feel by members of My Morning Jacket, the Raconteurs, and Dead Weather, among others. The White-curated lineup of tunes, says Jackson, showcases all the various types of music that Ive done through the years-some country, some gospel, some rockabilly, some rock n roll. Its got all of that, and we threw in a Bob Dylan song Thunder On the Mountain, just to be safe.

The spirited Jackson, revered for such classic singles as Lets Have a Party and Fujiyama Mama, proves that brash rock and roll attitude need not have an age limit. Her trademark growl remains intact on rockers like Rip It Up and Nervous Breakdown - she opens the set with an echo-laden sneer on a rollicking version of Shakin All Over and ends it 10 songs later with a plaintive take on Jimmie Rodgers Yodel #6. Along the way she tackles the Andrew Sisters kitschy Rum and Coca Cola and a big-band rendition of the DeCastro Sisters Teach Me Tonight, and she out-sasses-and out-classes-Amy Winehouse on a cover of the British bad girls You Know Im No Good, which has already been released as a single.
