Although country music is considered a conservative genre, there have always been women who challenged the status quo. The first on my list would be the amazing Wanda Jackson, properly known as the Queen of Rockabilly.

But the same can't be said of the still nascent music video game market, where both games and accessories have catered strongly to the predominantly-male video game crowd. So Performance Designed Products (PDP) teams up with teen pop star sisters Aly & AJ to create two new guitar controllers aimed especially at female gamers.

Holly Golightly... not the Audrey Hepburn character, but rather, Medway Delta's answer to Wanda Jackson. Where can you find her? Down some bar, punching the teeth outta someone she's scornin'. Possibly concealing a gun. Style These days, it's all...

I've been in love with Wanda Jean Jackson for the past twenty some odd years. There has never been a more independent, hot voice in Rock and Roll history than hers. A national treasure Here she is wailing on "Cool Love" Wanda Jackson website Never been one to lobby for The R&R Hall of Fame but ferfucksake.... do the right thing. Here is a tribute and plea from Elvis Costello. Help Get Wanda into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame ! To Whom It May Concern: This is to propose that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame finally nominates Wanda Jackson for induction. For heaven's sake, the whole thing risks ridicule and having the appearance of being a little boy's club unless it acknowledges the contribution of one of the first women of rock and roll. It might be hard to admit but the musical influence of several male pioneers is somewhat obscure today. Even though their records will always be thrilling, their sound is not really heard in echo. Look around today and you can hear lots of rocking girl singers who owe an unconscious debt to the mere idea of a woman like Wanda. She was standing up on stage with a guitar in her hands and making a sound that was as wild and raw as any rocker, man or woman, while other gals were still asking, "How much is that doggy in the window?"… It is strange to find myself a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame while there seem still be a number of notable absentees. I'd like to be able to send the museum some old guitar that I played in '77, with a good heart and clear conscience. Right now I'd be embarrassed to see it on display in a glass case in Cleveland while Wanda is still rocking and still missing from the Hall… Come on you guys. DO THE RIGHT THING…HELP INDUCT WANDA… Yours through music, Elvis Costello Mon, 18 Aug 2008 22:09:00 GMT http://www.wikio.com/search/Wanda+Jackson?rinfoid=68187388 2008-08-18T22:09:00Z http://www.wikio.com/search/Wanda+Jackson?rinfoid=67151696 The Forum in Kentish Town comes alive this autumn with the first big rock and roll festival in London for many years. Jerry Lee Lewis kicks off with sister Linda Gail and Wanda Jackson on October 28. Jack Scott follows on November 8, with Frankie Ford as support. And Little Richard appears on November 20 with Little Willie Littlefield. Prices are a bit steep but the chances of seeing these legends are diminishing with each pasing year, so I'm tempted. http://www.smartermusic.net/rock_and_roll.html Jerry Lee is also playing the 100 Club in a private show, but at £138 a ticket I think I'll give it a miss. Meanwhile there's Alton Ellis at the Jazz Cafe on Sunday and Martha and the Vandellas at the same venue on the 14th, so things are looking up. On the vinyl front I picked up some good original American soul 45s at a car boot sale on Sunday, including records by Tony Clarke, Albert King, Johnny Adams, Irma Thomas, 'Bishop' Joe Simon, Syl Johnson and Mitty Collier. But the best find was a white label test pressing 12 inch single of Temporary Secretary by Paul McCartney. That's gone straight on to eBay.
