"On the occasion of her 85th birthday on October 20, 2022, Bear Family Records honors Wanda Jackson, the Queen of Rockabilly with a fine 10" vinyl LP. A round a dozen of unique Rockabilly classics fill the grooves of this high-quality record in a limited edition. In addition to '(Let's Have A) Party', tracks include 'Baby Loves Him', 'Mean Mean Man', 'Cool Love' and 'Savin' My Love' and her re-makes of 'Fujiyama Mama' and 'Hot Dog! That Made Him Mad'. Liner notes by Bill Dahl. What a party! All hail the rockabilly queen! Wanda Jackson staked her royal reputation as an unbridled rocker on the killer sides she waxed for Capitol Records during the second half of the 1950s. A dozen of those classics constitute this Bear Family Records 10" LP, every one permeated with the sexy swagger and sensual sway that became her trademark after Elvis helped convince her to switch her stylistic focus from country to rock and roll. Wanda set her own 'Baby Loves Him', 'Mean Mean Man', 'Cool Love', and 'Savin' My Love' afire, made the swinging oldies 'Fujiyama Mama' and 'Hot Dog! That Made Him Mad' her own, and transformed the rip-roaring '(Let's Have A) Party' into a national hit (even Elvis and The Collins Kids couldn't do that). Wanda's studio bands included guitar demigods Joe Maphis and Roy Clark as well as her own touring combo, The Poe Kats featuring piano pounder 'Big' Al Downing. Jackson's rip-roaring rockabilly side is on full glorious display on these 12 classic tracks. Talk about a party!"
