Oklahoma native
Wanda Jackson's still kickin' hiney, and her new video for "
Tore Down" proves the legendary singer of "Riot in Cellblock #9" still has a bone or two to pick -- and a man to win.
The influential and undisputed "First Lady of Rock 'n' Roll" releases the full album, "
Unfinished Business," on Oct. 9 on Sugar Hill Records. It was produced by musician and songwriter Justin Townes Earle.
Jackson's also announced an Oklahoma concert to celebrate, 8 p.m. Sept. 28 at Bartlesville Community Center Auditorium, 300 SE Adams Blvd., Bartlesville. The show is all ages. Tickets start at $5 for students and $10 for adults, available at
tulsaworld.com/bvilletix and by calling 918-337-2787.
"From day one I really liked Justin’s idea to take me back to my roots and make a record of country, blues, and rockabilly songs," she said of the album in a press statement.
"The band was extra tight and great to work with during the whole process. The record just sounds terrific and I’m hoping that my fans enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it.”
The full album will include her versions of “California Stars” (Woody Guthrie, Jay Bennett, Jeff Tweedy), “Pushover” (Billy Davis and Tony Clarke), “It’s All Over Now” (Bobby Womack and Shirley Jean Womack) and even an Earle duet on “Am I Even A Memory” (Greg Garing).
