You must buy this CD!!, January 9, 2005
This review is from: Hard Headed Woman: A Celebration of Wanda Jackson (Audio CD)
I just can't believe this CD hasn't been reviewed here yet! This has been one of my best listening pleasures of 2004, easily! Not only it made me hear some great favorite singers (and their bands) of mine, Neko Case and Laura Cantrell among them, but also it made me discover some exciting others I hadn't heard before, like Kim Lenz, as well as The Ranch Girls & the Ragtime Wranglers. I bought their records after and haven't been disappointed. They make retro rock'n'roll, but it's a delight, and rock'n'roll will never die, everybody knows that! There are 21 songs here, paying tribute to Wanda Jackson, the first lady of rock'n'roll, and each is at least good, and often great! The performances of Asylum Street Spankers, Rosie Flores, Wayne Hancock, Jesse Dayton and many others are top-notch. This the best tribute album of my collection so far, with a beautiful cover art (Jon Langford), and a rich booklet. This CD doesn't only celebrate Wanda as she deserves to be, it also leads you to many other artists and bands you need to hear the personal sound and music as well. Long live rock'n'roll, country and rockabilly!

Hot dog, it makes me glad, July 23, 2010
This review is from: Hard Headed Woman: A Celebration of Wanda Jackson (Audio CD)
I bought this on a whim at the Bloodshot Yard Dog party when it first came out. It's hardly been put away since. The Box that it Came In is just beautiful. Bloodshot compilation records are usually good choices. This one is my favorite. This is my stay-awake-at-my-desk music. This is my get-off-your-butt-and-clean-the-house music. This is my driving-through-west-Texas music.
