Wanda Jackson belonged to a rare breed, the female rockabilly vocalist. On Rockin’ With Wanda! she shows she can rock just as hard as the fellers. However, major commercial success would elude her.
“These sides show just why she's so highly regarded by rockabilly aficionados. Jackson blazed the trail with and for the small number of original female rockabillies, cementing her place as one of the genre's legends.”
“Rockin' With Wanda cherry picked a dozen sides waxed between 1956 and 1959. Backed by world class picking, she is utterly authoritative on everything she sings.”
“Wanda just rocks with the best of the men. Songs like You're The One For Me and Did You Miss Me? are teen love songs that are just as good as anything from the best teen queens of the 50s or 60s. She's the queen of rockabilly, she's hot, and if you've never heard of her then shame on you. This is a must have LP.”
“Wanda Jackson's infectiously upbeat energy really impresses me, but she can sing just about any type of number she wants and make it sound special. This album showcases her magnificent voice with some well written musical arrangements fitting in perfectly with her singing.”
“There's nothing but great country/rockabilly here, all performed as few others but Wanda could ever do; just one listen proves it. Wanda Jackson fans will be thrilled with the excellent music found here; and it makes a fine starting out LP for newcomers just discovering Wanda's artistry.” “She simply had no peers among female vocalists in her ability to rock out. The somewhat cutesy cover of the 1960 album gives no real clue of the scorching vocals contained therein."
“There is some real good female rockabilly here, and some other interesting tracks, but it gets a little too country at times, at least for my tastes. It's an interesting blend of music, though. Wanda has a good voice with personality.”
