"Thunder On The Mountain"
by Wanda Jackson


"...Feel like my soul is beginning to expand
Look into my heart and you will sort of understand
You brought me here, now you're trying to run me away
The writing on the wall, come read it, come see what it say..."


Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Wanda Jackson, is brought back to the spotlight thanks in part to Jack White. White produced and performs on Jackson's new album The Party Ain't Over (2011). One of the many stellar tracks on the album is a cover of Bob Dylan's "Thunder On The Mountain" (taken from his 2006 album, Modern Times). White asked Dylan himself to choose a song from his own catalog of music for Jackson to cover and Dylan couldn't have picked a better suited song. Jackson and White bring such an unique energy to "Thunder...", that you'd swear the song was written specifically just for them. Jackson is a true gem and at 73 she sounds like she's just getting started. Nothing but a rockabilly good time.
