Wanda Jackson donates memorabilia, talks future
CATOOSA -- The “Queen of Rock” Wanda Jackson stopped in Friday to greet fans and make a donation to the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Tulsa.
True to her sultry and sweetly sarcastic reputation, the 72-year-old singer wooed fans with humor and grace, told stories about her career and donated memorabilia that spanned her more than a half-century career as a singer and musician.
The venue is one of a “lucky few” to have one of Jackson’s early performance outfits on display, she said.

NEW CD OUT NOW : 'Hits of Hank Williams' - Blue Grass Boogiemen
This album is the last in a series of Dutch artists covering American countrymusic icons, initially put out by the Dutch 'Starsound' label (which no longer is in business; fortunately the CRS label was willing to release this one). A few years ago Starsound Records owner Ruud Pennings asked us to do a 'Hits of Hank Williams' cd for his project. Though at first we thought that an album featuring only somewhat more obscure numbers instead of hits of 'the Hillbilly Shakespeare' would suit us better, we simply just couldn't resist the offer. Hence often covered favorites as 'Jambalaya (on the bayou)' and 'Cold, cold heart' couldn't be left out (we ... continue reading
