Wanda Jackson ‘The Party Ain’t Over’ Album Review

Rockabilly pioneer Wanda Jackson can still snarl, she can still moan, and she can still rock out with the best of them.

From Muscle Shoals, Alabama come the wonderful voices of Laura and Lydia Rogers, with their debut album, produced by T Bone Burnett.

While makeup can hide all those age lines, these boys (now in their late 60s) show they can still command and wow a crowd.

‘Mojo’ is a strong piece of work that harkens back to the way people used to go into the studio: without months of planning and preconception.

Alan Greenberg’s ‘Love In Vain: A Vision of Robert Johnson’ is so compelling that you hear music all around you.

Beautiful Scars takes the listener deep into the back rooms of a jazz club you never knew existed, where hipsters go to discover themselves.
