Post by robert kramer »

Wanda worked an Opry spot last Saturday night with a band led by Jack White, is playing a show tonight at Third Man Records in Nashville and is making a round of the late night talk shows:

Saw her tonight on Letterman. She rocked. And it's always nice to see PSG get camera time. Rich played tasty stuff, I do wish there had been a little less Jack White, but that's just my opinion.

half of jack's sound would have been better. wanda's cool...but she's no rose maddox!

the show was too overproduced, player-wise, for the quality being offered.

Same band on Letterman - cool after the solo when the horns play the guitar riff:

I liked it for what it is - rock and roll with a rock and roll attitude. It is in no way any manner of country music, no point in applying any type of standards from that world.

Looks like a fun gig for the steel player. :)

My first time on the road, some 50 years ago,in I beleive the Turf Club in Austin Minnesota. I was geen and scared as could be. On break the bartender told me I should have been there the week before, and heard Wanda Jackson's lead player. I asked his name He said some guy by the name of Roy Clark. Another guitar player that worked with her was Dave Lyle. She has always had top-notch musicions around her. Hell at her age, I say let her rock. DW

I only bought 3 tracks on Amazon and put Dust On the Bible on my play list. Truly disappointed with Teach Me Tonight.
