Well, simply this is nothing short of amazing.
Jackson and Co. was set take the stage at Third Man on past Jan. 18 and showed us that she’s one badass granny, and Jack , you’re the man, this will stay in our brain for ever.
In an era when rock & 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 shows 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.”
All hail the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll!
