Every Night Is Saturday Night

A Country Girl's Journey to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

De: Wanda Jackson, Scott B. Bomar, Elvis Costello - introduction

Narrado por: Grey Delisle, Elvis Costello

Wanda Jackson's debut single, "You Can't Have My Love," reached the Top 10 while she was still a sixteen-year-old high school student. She hit the road after graduation, playing package shows with Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Elvis Presley, who gave Wanda his ring and asked her to be "his girl." With Presley's encouragement, the Oklahoma native began recording rock music, often releasing singles with country on one side and rock on the other during her decade-and-a-half tenure on Capitol Records.

Known for her energetic stage shows and pioneering presence as a female artist, Wanda stormed the charts with a series of hit singles, including "Let's Have a Party," "Right or Wrong," and "In the Middle of a Heartache." With more than 40 albums to her credit, Wanda has proven to be an enduring and genre-defying legend of American music.

In Every Night is Saturday Night, Wanda tells her own story of getting discovered by Country Music Hall of Famer Hank Thompson; why she refused to return to The Grand Ole Opry for more than fifty years; the challenges she and her integrated band, The Party Timers, faced in the early 1960s; finding the love of her life; her recent work with rock luminaries Jack White and Joan Jett; and how her deep faith has sustained her over more than seven decades of rocking, shocking, and thrilling audiences around the globe.

Wanda Rocks!

great book, enjoyed hearing how a little okie gal came to be the co-queen of rock n' roll.

An entertaining and informative autobiography.

I've been a Wanda Jackson fan for a long time, so I might be a little bit biased, but I thought this was a good autobiography. It chronicles the most important highlights of her 65+ year career and also lets the reader know more about who Wanda is off stage. I learned a lot about Wanda from the book that I never knew before, like that she had a radio show or that she recorded albums in Japanese and German. I think anybody with an interest in rockabilly, women in music, or 50s/60s country music will find something to like in the book.

I thought Grey DeLisle did an excellent job narrating the book and I don't think anybody aside from maybe Wanda herself could've done better. Grey hasn't done many audiobooks before as far as I know, but she's given her voice to dozens of popular cartoon characters on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, so her reading is very clear and expressive. Grey is also a rockabilly and country artist, and it's obvious that she wanted to do a good job for Wanda.

Grey DeLisle was the perfect choice to Narrate Wanda Jackson’s Book.

The Narrator, Grey DeLisle has an impressive voice. I felt as if I was hearing Wanda Jackson herself. What a treasure. I Love Wanda Jackson and Grey DeLisle so much for collaborating on this wonderful Audiobook, She was the perfect choice to narrate this Book. The story is so wonderful. I just loved hearing all of the interesting bits about her life. 10 stars
