Wanda Jackson, the "First Lady of Rockabilly" and former girlfriend of Elvis Presley, has had quite a year. The 73 year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member released the Jack White-produced The Party Ain't Over, relentlessly toured all over the country and overall seems to have experienced a full-on career revival. Third Man Records, Mr. White's Nashville label/record store/venue, released a 7" of Jackson covering both Amy Winehouse and the rock standard "Shakin' All Over," along with her full length record. It seems as if Mrs. Jackson is on a roll, and as her record title suggests, her party won't be over for quite some time.
Watch Cory Albertson's interview with Wanda Jackson, as well as three songs from her show at the Loft.
