As part of her ongoing US tour, Wanda Jackson performed a sold-out show at Blueberry Hill's Duck Room in St. Louis last night. Through her performance, says the Riverfront Times, "Jackson made it known that she still is the Queen." For more on Jackson's current US tour, go to nonesuch.com/on-tour. To pick up a copy of her latest album, The Party Ain't Over, produced by Jack White, head to the Nonesuch Store now.
The Carolina Chocolate Drops resume their tour next week at the University of Iowa, where they perform at the Englert Theater on April 7. Two days prior, the group will give a free presentation about their music and its roots at the African American Museum of Iowa. For details of the upcoming tour, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour. The Chicago Sun-Times recently described the song "Short Dress Gal," off the Carolina Chocolate Drops' collaborative EP with Luminescent Orchestrii, as "one helluva song."
