An inexpensive and great overview of Wanda's career...

This cd is a perfect introductory one for a new fan, for it offers the two sides of Wanda... the rockabilly queen and the country torch singer, although there is a LOT more rockabilyl here(thankfully). This cd features rockabilyl classics liek Fujiyama Mama, as well as a blues "Kansas City Blues", and some country/honky tonk/rockabilly "I Gotta Know" and some hillbilly stuff too. A great cd, a great price, though if you want to spend a little more and get ALL the rockabilyl classics try Ace's Queen of Rockabilly or Bear family's Wanda Rocks or just for the Gold and get Bear Family's box set, Right or Wrong! Well, you migth just want to start here, fir this sampler is such a budget price and contians all her rockabilly ESSENTIALS, and shines her in a light as more then just a rock'n'roller. A versitile and great singer who could be rough and roudy and rev ger vocie up liek a 57 Chevy or could coo sweetly like a canarie! Great cd!!!

wanda is wonderful

wanda can flat sing everything -- pop, country, gospel and rock n' roll. the only other singer in her class is patsy cline. it should also be added she is in a total class by herself as a female rockabilly singer.

Wonderful Wanda

She was first female rocker, just now getting the long overdue credit she deserves....listen and wonder why it took so long, she needs to be the next to enter the R&R Hall Of Fame. Rock On Wanda!
