Wanda Jackson Announces US Tour Dates in February
Live Shows Planned To Follow Release Of New Jack White-Produced Album The Party Ain’t Over
Rock
and Roll Hall Of Famer Wanda Jackson is including more live dates to
her sold-out New York
City and Los Angeles record release shows.
Jackson
has added a Nashville show at the Grand Ole Opry on January 15th, as
well as a second
night at Los Angeles’ El Rey Theatre on January 24th
with The Third Man House Band featuring
Jack White on guitar, while the
newly announced February tour dates will take her back through
New York
as well as to Philadelphia, Boston, DC and Dallas. Tickets for the
additional Los Angeles
show will be available for Third Man Record’s
Vault subscribers starting Friday, January 7th at 10
am PST, and for the
general public on Saturday, January 8th at 10 am PST (insert link
here).
This string of live shows will be Jackson’s first
stateside performances following the release of
the highly anticipated
new album The Party Ain’t Over – produced by Jack White and released on
Third Man and Nonesuch Records on January 25th.
With 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-A-Billy” and “The First Lady Of Rock N Roll,” Jackson
recently
performed on the BBC’s Special New Year’s Eve “Hootenanny”
Jools Holland Show, providing the
United Kingdom with their very first
song of 2011, a rollicking version of album track “Rip It Up,”
as well
as a rendition of Amy Winehouse’s “You Know I’m No Good.”
Jackson
is scheduled to perform with Jack White & The Third Man House Band
on The Late Show
With David Letterman on CBS on January 20th and Conan
on TBS on January 25th.
The Party Ain’t Over was recorded in
Nashville at Jack 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, and hand picked
the songs – 11 tracks dating in origin from the
early 1900’s to 2007.
The result: a retro modern collection of music that showcases Wanda, now
in her seventh decade and sounding as charismatic as ever.
Wanda Jackson’s new single, a wickedly energetic cover of Bob Dylan’s “Thunder On The
Mountain”, is out now.
