There was a whole lot of shakin’ goin’ on at Summerstage in Central Park last night! Wanda Jackson, THE Queen of Rockabilly, THE first woman to perform unadulterated rock and roll absolutely rocked out the house. Now this lady has some pipes! One of the many touching and authentic moments was when she spoke of Amy Winehouse and sang the song You Know I’m No Good.
But in my book, the bigger hit was Imelda May. In her native Ireland, her album Love Tattoo has gone five times platinum. Her newer album Mayhem was just released in the U.S. and she’s now touring and just performed on the Jay Leno show last week. Absolutely adored her retro-chic style and how appreciative she was of her audience! You go girl!
