Wanda Jackson’s “Encore” is a fine swan song of the first lady of Rockabilly, filled with stylish and catchy tune that commemorates Jackson’s career. Now at 83 years of age, Jackson is still capable of singing passionately and the single song combines both rock and country. The album also demonstrates her tremendous talent as it portrays styles of blues legends as well as contemporary artists. Songs such as “I Don’t Care” are some of the best proof of her resilience into changing times without losing her true self. Thus, one can truly feel that Jackson performs each song with all his charm. “Encore’ is not just a way to say good bye it conveys the message with pride of a life fully invested in music and the legacy she has left behind and makes the listener dance in that pride.
