The Very Best of the Country Years picks up from the point where Wanda made a seamless transition from country- inflected pop and rock to straight country. It contains a few more early rockers, all of her important country hits (there were over 20 in number), and several superlative LP tracks, a fabulous combination that showcases all the varied talents of this remarkable artist. The eye-catching booklet includes a 4000+ word essay by Rob Finnis together with ads, reviews and rare pictures of Wanda from the relevant period. Wanda Jackson remains very active on the touring circuit, having found a following among younger audiences who sense her rebel spirit. She also runs a busy website which contains feedback from her many fans including Elvis Costello, and this release should be assured considerable media attention.
