THE PARTY AIN’T OVER
The Party Ain’t Over is the thirtieth studio album by American singer Wanda Jackson and a collaborative album with Jack White, the lead vocalist of The White Stripes. The Party Ain’t Over peaked at number 17 on Top Rock Albums. The album features covers of songs by artists including Amy Winehouse, Kitty Wells, Eddie Cochran, Johnny Cash, Johnny Kidd & The Pirates, and Bob Dylan. “Shakin’ All Over” was featured on the Bridesmaids soundtrack and played during the end credits of the film.

Jack White has since formed another successful rock band called the Raconteurs. He also performed music for the 2003 Civil War-era film Cold Mountain and even had an acting role; for a time, Jack White dated one of his co-stars, Renée Zellweger. This was a hint of White’s appreciation for classic country music as well: He master-minded acclaimed comeback albums for two different country legends, Loretta Lynn for her 2004 album Van Lear Rose; and Wanda Jackson, the “Queen of Rockabilly” in her 2011 release, The Party Ain’t Over. Jackson has a concert scheduled at the nearby Hollywood Casino in Bay St. Louis next month, and I can’t tell you how excited I am at the prospects of seeing her!

I had thought that “Funnel of Love” appears on Wanda Jackson’s 2011 comeback album, The Party Ain’t Over that was produced by Jack White of the White Stripes and the Raconteurs, but that ain’t true either.

At a later date, Jack White would perform the same magic for the 2011 album by Wanda Jackson, The Party Ain’t Over. It is doubtful that I would have had a chance to see her in concert in Bay St. Louis without the career revival that this album achieved.
