Wanda Jackson and her forthcoming Jack White-produced album, The Party Ain't Over, are the subject of a feature article in the latest issue of American Songwriter magazine. "I don’t know too many female names in the rock and roll world that come before her," White says. "She put in that energy to take it someplace totally new," he says of Jackson and the new album. "It’s a testament to how much someone can fall in love with music.”
Wanda Jackson and her forthcoming Jack White-produced album, The Party Ain't Over, are the subject of a feature article in the latest issue of American Songwriter magazine.
In the article, writer Davis Inman visits Jackson and White at the headquarters of Third Man Records, White's label and Nonesuch Records' partner in the forthcoming release. The three discuss the new project; the early influences of Elvis Presley, who was her boyfriend at the time; and the renewed appeal of the simpler times in which Jackson first made a name for herself—the 1950s—in a more frenetic world.
"I don’t know too many female names in the rock and roll world that come before her," White tells Inman.
And when it came to partnering with White on the new album, which features songs by artists from Bob Dylan to Amy Winehouse, Jackson proved that her pioneering spirit remains strong after all this time.
"She put in that energy to take it someplace totally new," White says of Jackson's approach to the album and its eclectic repertoire. "It’s a testament to how much someone can fall in love with music.”
