Wanda Jackson, Live in 2007. Photo by the author. “We do need a girl…” type of thinking got Wanda Jackson on tour with Elvis in 1955, where he convinced her to play rockabilly, and gave her his ring.

As I tend to do once in a while, lately I've abandoned most new music in favor of vintage tunes. Leading the charge has been "the queen of rockabilly" herself, good ol' Wanda Jackson.

Here's Wanda Jackson covering Elvis' 1958 "Hard-Headed Woman" in 1959 and doing a bang-up job at it too: Next is Nancy Sinatra with a video with wonderful production values, "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" (1966): If I have a favorite Dolly Parton song, it's her own composition, "Jolene" (1974): Whew!
