This marvellous recording came my way courtesy of Cedric, a badger of
advanced years and impeccable musical taste. Having borrowed it I don't
really want to give it back! He may have to force it from my hairy paws.
Wanda Jackson had her seventy-fourth birthday last Thursday and shows no
sign whatsoever of running out of steam just yet. This 2003 album finds her
in fine form amongst the company of a hoard of illustrious musical friends.
There are sixteen tracks in the set and truly not a bad one in the bunch.
There is a purity and guileless authenticity in her voice which graces
everything she touches. The perky tone; impeccable diction and the ability
to put her own spin on new songs and standards alike is unimpeachable.
The touching duet with Elvis Costello on 'Crying Time' is the very model of
the kind of heartbreaking country song which is bound to get me reaching for
the tissue box every time! The pedal-steel guitar bleeds like an open wound!
When Mme Jackson sings of being a 'Hard Hearted Woman' along with Cadilac
Angels and kicks off her shoes for a twirl on the rock-and-rolling 'Mean
Mean Man' it's impossible not to be swept away by her down-home enthusiasm.
She joins forces with The Cramps on 'Cell Block #9' and is clearly having
another whale of a time (it sounds as though she may have been gargling with
gin and six inch nails!) and final track 'Let's Have A Party' rips up the rug
for a gloriously rumbustious finale. Mme Jackson is definitely a party girl!
The three collaborations with guitarist/composer Dave Alvin ('It Happens Every
Time', 'Rockabilly Fever' and 'It'll Be Me'), however, find her relaxed and
expressive in a territory which she has made inimitably her own. Sublime stuff!
An album to make you feel happy to the core. No more, no less. Thank you Cedric.
Highly Recommended.

It's About Time!
23 Oct 2003
Format:Audio CD
The new album of Wanda Jackson's, "Heart Trouble" is such a welcome gift. Wanda is truly one of the first female "rockabilly" singers...a true living legend! I couldn't wait to hear every track and was blown away! Her voice is as strong as ever! She obviously "STILL HAS IT!" The duets she does with some of today's hot stars is a credit to her status in the music community. Just one question...I can't seem to find where Wanda Jackson has been inducted into the "Rock & Roll Hall of Fame...?" If this is true, it's an outrage! She paved the way for countless female artists,and has now been knocking audiences dead for over 40 years! If the industry doesn't realize this, then I believe we should start a "grass roots effort" to insist that she be nominated and inducted. I know there are many more fans (as well as artists)out there like me who would agree! If anyone has a contact or knows of a way of reaching someone on the comittee, please let me know. No one deserves recognition more than Wanda!! She is artist's artist and a true professional if there ever was one. Go buy this new C.D. and you'll see what I mean! Kudos, Wanda!

The Queen of Rockabilly returns!
14 Oct 2003
Format:Audio CD
Wanda Jackson rocks! An inspiration to countless women in rock and country, Jackson is back with an amazing new record featuring The Cramps, Elvis Costello, Dave Alvin, Rosie Flores and others. This record is a real treat for Wanda fans who like all her music-- whether it's rockabilly, hard-core country or gospel. It's a first rate production and her voice is in top form. She still sings like a teenager. There are some great re-recordings on here, with new twists and turns, but the new songs are a real revelation-- this is no oldies record. She's as vital an artist as ever. My favorite tracks are "Heart Trouble" and "It Happens Every Time." Check it out! Wanda should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

Wanda is back
4 July 2004
Format:Audio CD
Be still, my heart...Wanda is back. After a recording hiatus of nearly 20 years, the Queen of Rockabilly returns with a collection of recordings that affirms her place in the pantheon of American music.
The album begins with the title track, an uptempo country number that showcases the often overlooked melodic qualities of Wanda's voice. This toe-tapper sets the tone for a more subdued collection than Wanda's blistering early rockabilly recordings, and introduces the cast of side performers who help to make each song an instrumental masterpiece. Bassist Larry Taylor, drummer Stephen Hodges, and backing vocalist Siedah Garrett lay a solid foundation on the whole collection, setting the stage for the guitar work of Dave Alvin, James Intveld and Smokey Hormel, who also contributes fine pluckin' on the banjo and mandolin.
Psychobilly pioneers The Cramps add their twist to Wanda's classic "Funnel of Love", styling this signature tune without distorting or parodying. The rasp is gone from Wanda's voice here, but the eeriness of Poison Ivy's guitar gives the song all the texture it had the first time around. Lee Rocker and Rosie Flores crank up the honky-tonk of "Woman Walk Out the Door", delivered by Wanda as no other can, walking the line between smitten and empowered with unmatched vocal authority.
As was the case in the 1950's, Wanda delivers her own songs and those written by others in a distinctive and magnificent style. "Mean Mean Man" and Carl Perkins' "Rockabilly Fever" are just as vital and infectious as they were 50 years ago, sung with the conviction that carries a sentence in Cellblock #9. This collection is the perfect complement to Wanda's early work, and to the contemporary works of her many collaborators who trace their lineage to the early days of country and western. That's right, they called it rockabilly long before they called it rock and roll....
