Wanda Jackson
Comment:
Wanda Jackson broke the mould for female country artists with mid-'50s stage outfits, which were (relatively, at least) a little risqué — but even though high heels, long earrings, and fringe dresses set her sartorial tone, and rock 'n' roll fueled her firecracker reputation, she never lost a deep love of country, often backing her rockabilly singles with something closer to Nashville. "Why I'm Walkin'" is a hell of a heartbreaker, and a strong suggestion that, given an alternative career twist, she could've been as big as Patsy Cline; if you need any more convincing of that, cue up her take on "Crazy." As for Jackson's "Blue Moon Of Kentucky," with its rumblin' drums and wild guitar work . . . that's a different kind of crazy.
