Wanda Jackson, born and raised in Oklahoma, recorded a handful of country songs
from june 1954 (when she was still only 16) to 1956. Then she moved to Los
Angeles and adopted a different persona, a wild, rebel and sexy girl who could
compete with the most lascivious rockers of the era. Her
I Gotta Know (agosto 1956),
Honey Bop (1956),
Hot Dog,
Fujiyama Mama (1958),
Mean Mean Mean (1960),
and Let's Have A Party (1960, recorded in 1958) are
full of sexual innuendos and were sung in a manic euphoria.
The albums,
Wanda Jackson (Capitol, 1959),
Rockin' With Wanda (Capitol, 1960)
and
There's A Party Going On (Capitol, 1961), summarized on
Rockin' In The Country (Rhino),
show a singer that was still maturing.
In 1961 she abandoned rock and roll and Los Angeles, and joined the ranks of Nashville's country singers (Right Or Wrong). Married with children, she continued recording country and gospel music throughout the 1970s. |
