Miss Wanda Jackson........



I post this for a couple reasons......I loved her as a kid....still do. I'm in the stages of putting together a list, and mostly because I know how much my daughter can't stand her voice!! lol (hell, it took her quite a while to even tolerate, much less like Brenda Lee...it's gonna take a lot more work to get her to appreciate Wanda) >;)

Just so you know, Sarah says she sound like a hiccuping cat in heat, or the vocal equivalent of someone playing the violin badly. I beg to differ.....but, ya know..........

    Hon, I have to add that I do have the new CD, "The party ain't over"....my opinion: still lovin' Wanda and her voice, lovin' the fact that she's recording still........unfortunately, still not fond of Jack White, and especially not fond of the band on the record :(

    Wait a minute...doesn't like Elvis? Which Elvis....? Early rockin' his butt off Elvis? Movie Elvis? #1 hit machine Elvis? Gospel Elvis? Concert Elvis? Fat Elvis? Like the man said when asked what do you sing...'I sing all kinds'. Who do you sound like? 'I don't sound like nobody'
    I'm not sayin' everything he put out was great....a lot of 2nd class material (thanks to Col Parker) but the man could flat out sing.

    She said his voice was good, and that he was cute, just that she wasn't much into him....and that his movies were "mostly kinda lame". I'd say she likes early, maybe up to like "Viva Lost Wages" Elvis....nothing much after that :)
