Creamtastic Jack White to Produce Wanda Jackson LP
Posted by Adam Gold on Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 12:39 PM
Queen of Rockabilly and recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Wanda Jackson is about to get the Loretta Lynn treatment, as it has been announced that Jack White will apply his Midas touch to her forthcoming LP. According to this post on TwentyFourBit, White is slated to assume production duties on both a digital single and a full-length LP.
Considering this recent post via Rolling Stone, in which mega-douche Lenny Kravitz pines to work with White, I extend a hearty congratulations to Jackson for beating my least favorite retro-rocker to White's dance card. Kravitz's morale is hopefully shattered beyond that of Slash--who is still icing the bruised ego he received when White snubbed him by declining an invitation to sing on his (still-in-production) all-star album. Perhaps White is too busy negotiating with The Rolling Stones, but luckily not too busy to say no to Wanda Jackson, whose graciousness you might remember from this interview I did with her earlier this year.

Adam Gold's ongoing, mean-spirited post only show his "smallness" in every department. Karma is a MF!
yeah I don't get it. If you're a Wanda fan, that article should make you happy. He said nice things. Nice things.
...show his "smallness" in every department.
She's talkin bout ur peen, d00d. LOL!
Midas touch is right. Everything JW touches is gold. I hope he stays away from the likes of Taylor Swift, Kravitz and guest appearances on anyone elses record. He doesn't need them, they need him.
Let's hope this set a standard for White producing and never creating his Pixies meets AC/DC ripoff music forever. In case I'm not clear, White is my least favorite retro-rocker.
Kudos to White for turning down boring rockers like Slash and Kravitz, but he should still be taken to task for that crappy "It might get loud" movie.
At this point the ilk from Led Zeppelin have officially made more crap than they have quality rock n' roll, and The Edge continues to contribute to one of the most boring and overrated rock acts in music history.
Plus the movie is basically a credit card commercial.
that cropped pic of wanda jackson's head is just barely real enough to give my subconscious mind the impression that wanda jackson indeed has a monstrous head and therefore nightmares of her eating me whole in one, horrifying-yet-surely-melodic gulp. thanks. thanks alot.
Not the first time my Photoshop work has haunted a man's dreams. I live to disturb.
This is gonna be huge! I cannot wait to hear this. Jack White producing a full length Wanda Jackson album?! That's out of this world!
For the good of rock n'roll and any hopes of not spiraling into a full-fledged mediocrity hole that we cannot climb out of, someone should really run down Jack White with a truck. He is way to big for his britches, his side projects are even worse than the incredibly awful White Stripes, and he keeps popping up everywhere.
If the good die young, we can expect Jack White to live a long and fruitful life as he keeps pissing on the grave of rock and roll.
Captain Idiot, you're a fool.
For the good of rock n'roll? Who the hell else that attracts a ton of attention from the mainstream media is contributing as much to rock as Jack?
I'm not a huge fan of any of his bands. I like the Stripes most of all. But, I'm wise enough to understand the amount of good that he's contributing to the music industry compared to all of the crap that mainstream tv & radio forces down our throats on a regular basis. Thank God for a person like Jack White. Maybe because of him people will go back and discover Wanda Jackson's recordings. There's nothing negative about Jack White's contributions to music in my humble opinion.
So he brings new ears to Loretta and Wanda? I think it's sad that it takes some pasty goober to convince the ever-stupider youth that old music was actually good.
King Vitamin said, "Maybe because of him people will go back and discover Wanda Jackson's recordings."
Perhaps you're right. Maybe, with any luck, by introducing listeners to good music he will also make his own wretched contributions transparent. Maybe they will toss their White Stripes records and listen to Wanda Jackson.
Cheers to that!
Wow...now that's gonna be some killer stuff, Miss Wanda and Mr. Jack? Whoa...Can't wait! Yaaaay!
run jack white down with a truck????? that is absurd!!!
he should be castrated without anesthesia and tied to the ground and slowly run over with a stream roller, one inch per hour.
that is still way too kind to that peace of human shit!!!!! if i could go back in time i wouldn't stop hitler first...... i would go back in time and cut off jack whites fingers so he could never ruin the guitar as a decent instrument. then go kill hitler if time allowed
It's HTHeather who got me re-listening to Wanda, actually-- but I'll take another go-round with Jack on board, gladly.
Whoops, didn't notice Anonymous running us smack into Godwin's law territory!
I have been a White Stripes fan forever and i just caught It Might Get Loud. Jack White blew my mind. any true fan should not miss it. http://bit.ly/4SGSGV
I am glad to hear about this for Wanda and Jack, I got acquainted with Wanda when in the early to mid 60's, her father Tom was my Mgr, for a while and I was on Reprise Records and actually got to do some of Wanda's dates as she was expecting a Child , her and Wendell and just been married a short time and she had to take some time off. It was the biggest thrill of my life and I was about 20 yrs old and heavily influenced by Wanda while a teenager. She has always been my favorite and I am so glad she has "hung in here" long enough to get some huge rewards. What a strong and wonderful woman she is . I love Wanda Jackson..You can hear what I did then if you like on you-tube, search for me there........... Vikki Sallee aka Vicki Sallee (different spellings on different Labels') Congratulations Wanda, It is about time, I can imagine how you must feel. love to you and Wendell always....Vikki
