Wanda Jackson's new record The Party Ain't Over is about two weeks away. On Friday, January 21st Brooklyn's Music Hall Of Williamsburg will host a special record release show featuring Wanda Jackson backed by Jack White & The Third Man House Band. The show sold out in nearly an hour and the small handful of additional tour dates followed suit.
The hype for this show is huge. In the past, shooting a Wanda Jackson show was pretty easy but this time around with requests in to both the Jackson camp and Third Man Records I have yet to get a response. Maybe I'm not cool enough and it seems that many photographers are in the same boat. Most likely it's an attempt to maintain the unique atmosphere of the live event.
To my fellow record nerds, Third Man Records will release a 180 gram 12" vinyl version of the new album and pre-orders are being taken now. The first 1000 orders will receive a limited edition Hatch Show print and of those 1000 orders a select 100 will have randomly inserted limited edition fuschia colored LPs.
Hatch Show Prints is one of the oldest working print shops in the United States, they've been making prints advertising music shows since 1879 so it's no surprise Jack White has partnered with them to make this release even more special.
Wanda Jackson' latest single, a cover of Bob Dylan's Thunder On The Mountaintop, is available now for download at iTunes or AmazonMP3. Here's a preview:

UPDATE: Wanda Jackson has added an additional NYC tour date on February 24th at the Bowery Ballroom and tickets are onsale now. Jack White is not on the bill for this show. For more information check here or to buy tickets click here.
