Just as he did for Loretta Lynn a few years back, Jack White’s working relationship with Wanda Jackson should introduce a new generation (or two) to the so-called “Queen of Rockabilly” simply by having his name attached as producer of her new album, The Party Ain’t Over. Rock historians don’t need White’s hipster cachet to know that Jackson is a massive figure in the history of American rock ‘n’ roll; back in the ‘50s when her ex-boyfriend Elvis Presley was leading a boys-heavy music industry, the sassy young Jackson burst through the testosterone with her own insistent brand of rock. The title of her White-produced album is a reference to her 1958 hit “Let’s Have a Party,” and the new songs show that the 74-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Famer has plenty of attitude left in her.
