Wanda Jackson rocked out with Jack White and The Third Man House Band on the Late Show with David Letterman, performing "Shakin' All Over," the opening track of her forthcoming album, The Party Ain't Over. "Wasn't that tremendous!" Letterman exclaimed. "That was fantastic." Watch it here. Nonesuch is giving away tickets to their sold-out shows in New York and LA, which the Los Angeles Times calls "a can't miss scorcher of an evening."

Wanda Jackson, whose new album, The Party Ain't Over, is just days away from its Third Man / Nonesuch Records release this Tuesday, was joined by Jack White, the album's producer, and The Third Man House Band for a rocking-good performance of the album's opening track, "Shakin' All Over," on the Late Show with David Letterman last night.

"Wasn't that tremendous!" Letterman exclaimed when they were through. "That was fantastic." In fact, Letterman enjoyed the performance so much, he asked Jackson and the band to give an encore performance to close the show.

There are just a few more days to pre-order The Party Ain't Over on vinyl and CD in the Nonesuch Store and receive a limited-edition poster autographed by Jackson. To do so and receive the complete album as audiophile-quality, 320 kbps MP3s on release day as well, head to the Nonesuch Store now. Jackson spoke with the Wall Street Journal's John Jurgensen about the making of the album for an feature article you can read online at online.wsj.com.

Ticket Giveaway to Sold-Out Brooklyn, Los Angeles Shows:

Jackson, White, and The Third Man Band will launch a series of sold-out record-release shows at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, New York, tonight, followed by performances at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles Sunday and Monday nights. Nonesuch Records is giving away a pair of tickets to each of these shows. To enter to win, simply e-mail info@nonesuch.com by noon EST today and let us know which show you'd like to attend. Winners will be announced shortly thereafter.

UPDATE (1 PM ET): Congratulations to Mark Piro, Ghazal Hashemi, and William Kyle Wilkerson, winners of the Wanda Jackson ticket giveaway from Nonesuch, and thanks to all who entered!

"Rockabilly siren Wanda Jackson has returned with a vengeance," says the Los Angeles Times in a preview of this weekend's shows. "Jackson's spitfire voice hasn't lost an inch and only gained gravity with age. With White as her sideman, these shows should burn." A separate piece in the Times calls the show "a can't miss scorcher of an evening"

LA Weekly says: "The influence of Jackson on rockabilly (and rock & roll in general) can't really be overstated, especially given the extent to which rock music in the '50s was a boy's club." And with the release of The Party Ain't Over, she "has demonstrated that she's still got it."
