Wanda Jackson 'The Many Moods of Wanda Jackson'
Thrift store find. The first track on this 1969 compilation makes me laugh every time I hear it. The chorus is "I wish I was your friend...and not your wife." The Many Moods... does a fine job of capturing just those. It's a good Wanda Jackson collection for a newcomer for this reason, with downers and uppers, capturing her country, folk, rockabilly, and pop elements. I'm a fan of hers, and even as an established fan I appreciate the variety featured. It balances well. My favorites here are: 'I'd Do It All Over Again,' 'I Started Loving You Again,' 'Fever,' and 'Poor Ole Me.'
