Wanda Jackson was a gritty thrill when she unveiled her take on her ex-boyfriend Elvis Presley's "Let's Have a Party" in 1958. Not much in her feisty delivery has changed since, and on "The Party Ain't Over" (Third Man / Nonesuch), her collaboration with White Stripe Jack White, Jackson handles everything from yodeling to the calypso-tinged "Rum and Coca-Cola" to Amy Winehouse's "You Know I'm No Good" pretty well. But it's the way she howls on "Rip It Up" and commands "Busted" that shows the Queen of Rockabilly still deserves her throne.
