Queen of Rockabilly, Wanda Jackson: A Woman Who Rocks

he Queen of Rockabilly, Wanda Jackson, continues her hot streak. She's been all over the press since before the January, 2011 release of her latest CD The Party Ain't Over which was produced by the everywhere man Jack White. She'd been recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and received an Early Influence award.

And now Jackson's old acoustic guitar will be featured at a new exhibit in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame dedicated to female artists. The exhibit, Women Who Rock: Vision, Passion, Power, chronicles the pioneering role of women in rock 'n' roll, from Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith to Bikini Kill and Lady GaGa.

And Jackson fits right in. After all, she broke the mold for female singers in the 50s. No one had heard a "girl" sing like she did. If Lady GaGa thinks she has the corner on raw sexuality, she's dead wrong! Jackson brought the same type of "dangerous" sensuality to her music that Elvis did and she did it about 40 years before GaGa was born. And she did it with a lot more taste and class in my not-so-humble opinion. GaGa's nothing new, she's just more explicit. Jackson...now she was new!

"It's like they just got their heads together and said, 'We will not help this girl do it,'" Jackson says of the men who controlled the record business of the 50s. "They just wouldn't play my records if it was the rock stuff. So it didn't take long before I was putting a country song on one side of a record and a rock song on the other."

That probably worked in Jackson's favor in a way since country music was her home for many years and she had decent success with some great country songs. She also went on to record lots of gospel music. But it's the rock and roll that she's remembered for now. Her early rockabilly releases have become iconic classics of the genre.

She could throw her voice from sweet to gravelly in mid lyric and she still does today at 73 years old. As a teenager she was a powerful performer who turned heads not only because she was beautiful to look at, but because she created a beautiful package of sight and sound. And she pushed boundaries with glamor, style, and attitude.

As a septuagenarian, she is still a powerful performer. She seems tireless and has been keeping up a heavy touring schedule since the release of her new record. She seems to be everywhere. She is still a superwoman of rock and roll. No doubt about it: Jackson is indeed A Woman Who Rocks!

Rock On $6.95 How would you like a six-figure marketing job at the hallowed record label that signed everyone who counts in the last fifty years of pop music? Before you answer, we?ll throw in a plush office, a hip assistant and a bottomless expense account. When Dan Kennedy is hired by a major label he thinks he has been handed a pass to the secret kingdom of rock and roll. In reality, he has walked into an episode of The Office . Whether directing a gangsta rapper?s video or battling his better judgement to create a campaign celebrating twenty-five years of Phil Collins? love songs, he?s in way over his head. And from the looks of those around the boardroom, he?s not alone. Cameos by aging pop stars, dinosaur music-biz kingpins, hip-hop thugs, Iggy Pop and others make up the cast of this brilliant power ballad to rock and roll, office life and all the wage slaves who?ve done their damndest to hide from Human Resources when the axe falls. If you have ever bought a record, worked in an office, tried to get into a creative industry or suspected that some things are not all they?re cracked up to be, Rock On will make you laugh more than you thought possible.

Between a Rock and a Hot Place (Hardcover) $13.94 A funny, fearless, no-holds-barred look at aging hormone replacement therapy, online dating, eye lifts, and all As she approached her fiftieth birthday, Tracey Jackson found herself bombarded at the gym, at parties, in conversations with friends by a catchphrase on everyone`s lips. "Fifty is the new thirty" and the endless magazine articles, photos, and T-shirts proclaiming the new aphorism had apparently bloomed out of a collective sense of denial, masking the true fears of a generation unwilling to relinquish their youth. With a comedy writer`s training and a screenwriter`s eye for detail, Jackson skewers the myth in Between a Rock and a Hot Place, a hilarious, bare-knuckled, and ultimately practical appraisal of what middle age really means today. Willing not only to face the elephant in the room, but to put him under a (large) microscope, Jackson confronts the truth about death, work, and sex in what the French call the "third age," using poignant, laugh-out-loud stories from her life. Jackson examines the changing roles of motherhood and wifehood; the necessity of planning a "career after your career"; the unvarnished reality of our aging bodies; and the generational shift in our perception of age ("Tight abs was not a phrase my grandmother had ever heard. And even if she had, her response would likely have been, Who needs that when you have a girdle?"). Turning fifty is a wake-up call but one that can be greeted with a plan. Recounting the changes she went through, the things she learned (and things she didn`t) en route to fifty, Between a Rock and a Hot Place navigates, with unsparing honesty and unerring wit, the confusion and uncertainty of the most significant uncharted transition in our lives.
