Wanda Jackson: The Party Ain't Over ? review

(Third Man/Nonesuch)

Produced by Jack White at his Third Man studios in Nashville, this collection of covers by the 73-year-old Queen of Rockabilly is a bit of a grower as she proves she still has plenty of puff on fare such as Johnny Kidd's rocker "Shakin' All Over", the calypso "Rum and Coca Cola", and a straightish version of Amy Winehouse's "You Know I'm No Good". Big guitars and vintage amps, a kicking horn section and White's winning way with overdrive and ancient reverb help, but the closing rendition of Jimmie Rodgers's "Blue Yodel #6", with one-man band White on acoustic guitar and tambourine, is a great finish.
