    Wanda Jackson's performance of "Like a Baby," off her new album, The Party Ain't Over, has been named Song of the Day by NPR. "Half a century ago, 'Like a Baby' was sung by a man whom Jackson dated briefly, who went by the name Elvis Presley," says NPR. "But for all the history wrapped up in the song, it's also a testament to a man who's done right by Jackson: The White Stripes' Jack White, who crafted a dynamically down-and-dirty rockabilly sound for Jackson's fine new comeback album, The Party Ain't Over." Spinner has named Jackson one of the 25 Women Who Rock Right Now.
