WANDA JACKSON E JACK WHITE

To celebrate her new album, The Party Ain’t Over, out January 25th via Third Man/Nonesuch Records, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Wanda Jackson will play two special New York City and Los Angeles shows around its release. Wanda will be accompanied by the Third Man House Band featuring Jack White, who also produced the album, on guitar. Tickets for the January 21st show at Music Hall ofWilliamsburg in NYC and the January 23rd show at the El Ray Theatre in LA will be available for Third Man Record’s Vault subscribers starting Wednesday, December 15th at 11 am EST, and for the general public on Thursday, December 16th at 11 am EST.

a remarkable career that began in 1955, Jackson, credited with being the first woman to ever record a rock and roll song – “Let’s Have a Party” in 1958 – was convinced by her friend Elvis Presley to cross over from country to rock and rockabilly music. Now known around the globe as “The Queen Of Rock” and “The First Lady Of Rockabilly,” Wanda has teamed up with Jack White for The Party Ain’t Over, 11 tracks dating in origin from the early 1900’s to 2007. Recorded in White’s studio where he brought together a formidable band, including himself, Jack Lawrence (The Dead Weather/Raconteurs), Carl Broemel (My Morning Jacket), Patrick Keeler (Raconteurs), Ashley Monroe,Jackson Smith and Karen Elson, to name a few, the album is a retro modern collection of music that showcases Wanda, now in her seventh decade and sounding as wickedly charismatic as ever.
Stay tuned for a full tour to be announced in 2011!
