Wanda Jackson - Rockin' With Wanda! + 4 Bonus - 180 Gram (Waxtime) Lp New
Reference: LPS-135679
INCLUDES 4 BONUS
4 1/2 STARS ALL MUSIC GUIDE
Wanda Jackson has become a shimmying emblem of female independence in a
male-dominated industry, testing boundaries with her forward style and
lyrics about mean men and hard-headed women (and those are the love
songs). Her lyrics were ahead of their time, featuring sexually
suggestive innuendo and depictions of strong women who did not put up
with controlling men. Jackson blazed the trail with a small number of
original rockabilly girls, while cementing her place as one of the
genre's legends. She was the female equivalent of Elvis Presleys
leather suits and pelvic thrusting, the first woman to bring sex appeal
to the rock & roll scene.
Long unavailable on vinyl, this quintessential collectors edition includes Jacksons third LP, Rockin with Wanda!
originally released in 1960. Her finest album, it contains a dozen
sides waxed between 1956 and 1959. Included are the iconic rockabilly
hits Fujiyama Mama, Honey Bop, Hot Dog! That Made Him Mad, Rock
Your Baby, and the self-penned Mean Mean Man. In contrast, Youve
Turned to a Stranger is sung as a twangy country ballad, and I Gotta
Know splits its time between rockabilly and waltz (as does I Wanna
Waltz on her 1958 debut album, Wanda Jackson). Jackson was also singing
Rock Your Baby, with its demand Rock your baby all night long, and
dont be slow - a song she wrote herself, no less. The great Buck Owens
adds world-class guitar picking and hot licks, and on some cuts, her
own band, The Poe Kats, are captured with black rockabilly keyboardist
Big Al Downing. Also featuring accompaniment by Joe Maphis and Ralph
Mooney, among other luminaries, Wanda Jackson is utterly authoritative
on everything she sings.
In addition to this sensational LP, 4 bonus tracks from the same period
have been included. This great material represents the cream of the
crop from Jacksons hitmaking stretch for the Capitol label during her
most inspired years. All of these original gems –which have been
brilliantly remastered to achieve the most pristine sound– are simple
two-and-a-half-minute songs that convey all the sheer power and emotion
of rock & roll.
