Wanda Jackson & Justin Townes Earle

When Wanda Jackson, the justly crowned Queen of Rockabilly, recorded Let’s Have A Party in 1958, she made it into a hit of her own even after one-time boyfriend Elvis
Presley had released a version of it. As a teenager in the mid-50s, Jackson was the first woman to perform unadulterated rock and roll – and she one-upped the boys defining this new genre with her exhilaratingly forthright approach. A tireless touring artist for more than 50 years, Jackson continues to win over new fans, including guitarist-vocalist White Stripes founder Jack White, who produced her new album, The Party Ain’t Over. Justin Townes Earle won the Best New and Emerging Artist at the 2009 Americana Music Awards. His record, Midnight at the Movies, was named one of the best records by Amazon, received four stars in Rolling Stone and found a sweet spot in the blackened hearts of fans and critics alike. On his latest Harlem River Blues, JTE chose the simple route—a record that is rockin’ and reelin’ at times, sweet and slow at others.
