WANDA JACKSONElvis Costello is an English musician, singer-songwriter, and record producer. He began his career as part of London's pub rock scene in the early 1970s and later became associated with the first wave of the British punk and new wave movement of the id-to-late 1970s. His critically acclaimed debut album, My Aim Is True, was recorded in 1977. Shortly after recording it he formed the Attractions as his backing band. His second album, This Year's Model, was released in 1978, and was ranked number 11 by Rolling Stone on its list of the best albums from 1967-1987. His third album, Armed Forces, was released in 1979, and features his most successful single "Oliver's Army." His first three albums all appeared on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Known as the queen of rockabilly, Wanda Jackson combined grit with glamour to set a new template for country music's "girl singers" of the 1950s. With urging from Elvis, she soon showed the world that girls could rock, too! Wanda landed more than 30 singles on the country and pop charts between 1954 and 1974. She is a multiple Grammy nominee, a recipient of the Americana Music Association's Lifetime Achievement Award, and a 2009 inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Scott B. Bomar is an award-winning writer who has authored or co-authored six books, including How Sweet It Is (with Lamont Dozier), Every Night is Saturday Night (with Wanda Jackson) and Southbound: An Illustrated History of Southern Rock.
