I like Wanda Jackson. She looks like my Auntie Joyce who used to sing on cruise ships and that. Apparently Wanda's shared stages with Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis so it shouldn't be a surprise that she's pro enough to pull off a couple of potentially tricky cover versions with total panache. She lends her spirited, jazzy voice to Amy Winehouse's 'You Know I'm No Good' and does it so well you forget where the thing originates from. On the flip she does 'Shakin' All Over', such a rock standard that it's fraught with its own cliched danger but all of that's skillfully avoided in a seriously fun version shot through with that trademark 50s/60s vibe that you can generally rely upon from a Third Man 7".

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

The highly anticipated Jack White-produced single by rock and roll and country singing legend, Wanda Jackson. In an era when rock and roll and rockabilly was dominated by men, Jackson was a groundbreaker who more than held her own with a ripping voice like no other and hard-headed songs about no-nonsense female protagonists. Her career has spanned rockabilly, rock and roll, country and gospel and she's shared stages with all the greats from Elvis Presley to Jerry Lee Lewis. Jackson s first release with Third Man Records has her putting her own distinctive spin on two cover songs, Amy Winehouse's "You Know I'm No Good" and Johnny Kidd and the Pirates classic rocker Shakin' All Over.
