It's wonderful to report that here at AVID HQ we are able to continue our release schedule with another fabulous musician who is still with us in 2023. Recently we have featured Tony Bennett, Ahmad Jamal and Kenny Burrell all in their 90s and here we have another musical great in the relative youngster at 85 years, the incredible Miss Wanda Jackson. Born into a musical family in Oklahoma, in October 1937 Wanda moved with her parents at an early age to Los Angeles where at six her father bought her first guitar and a later move took them to Bakersfield (the famed West Coast country music hot spot) before returning to Oklahoma when she was just nine years old. By now she was singing and playing the guitar and it wasn't long before she was performing on local radio back in Oklahoma City. In fact, she had her own 15 minute segment on a radio show where she performed mainly country tunes. Over the years there have been many artists who have dared to cross the dreaded genre lines the music business lays down for us all to follow. Perhaps the most famous is the King himself, Elvis, who started in country and gospel, moved to rockabilly and rock n roll and then to pop and even had a close shave with easy listening. Coincidentally Wanda Jackson, who had toured with Elvis and is said to have turned down a proposal of marriage from the great man (after all she was only a couple of years younger than him) was also a member of this relatively exclusive club.
