Wanda Jackson started her career in country music before embracing rock ’n’ roll. While remaining true to her roots, the transition proved so successful she was affectionately crowned “The Queen of Rockabilly”. Possessing a voice that demanded to be heard in a world dominated by male rockers, she blazed a trail for all that followed. Pressed on 140g black vinyl, this 17-track LP comprises some of her best singles from 1954-62. The first track is from her time with Decca, but the other tracks are from her time with Capitol from 1956-62. Features rollicking numbers such Mean Mean Man, Fujiyama Mama, Honey Bop, Riot In Cell Block #9, Let’s Have A Party and heartbreakers like Right Or Wrong, I’d Be Ashamed and A Little Bitty Tear. An entertaining showcase for a highly distinctive talent, dubbed “the sweet lady with the nasty voice.”
