Americana Music Conference attendees had a rare treat when rockabilly legend Wanda Jackson popped up in the hotel bar to play a spirited set.
“What’s with the blue hair?,” the feisty Jackson shouted out to an audience member. “You must be a rebel.”
She surely was. She embraced rock ‘n’ roll when it was still the exclusive turf of young men.
In her performance on Friday, Jackson reached back to 1959 to do what she called her “first #1 record,” “Fujiyama Mama.” Unfortunately, it was number 1 in Japan and not here, she noted, smiling.
She drew two songs from her last album,The Party Ain’t Over, produced by Jack White, who she described as a “velvet-covered brick.”
She’s turned to Justin Townes Earle to produce her next album Unfinished Business, due this fall on Sugar Hill Records.

Americana Music News – It will be a terrific first night of showcases at the Americana Music Festival in Nashville. The Wednesday line-up ranges from a salute to Levon Helm (arguably the father of Americana music) to the up-and-coming Shovels and Rope.It’s really a matter of just picking a venue and hanging out for the evening. Every club is deep in talent. The Mercy Lounge, Cannery Ballroom and High Watt are all in the same building, which makes choosing between the Helm tribute, Brandi Carlile and Chris Stamey one of the toughest choices of the week.
We called the new Shovels and Rope album one of the best Americana albums we’ve heard this year and they should be great live at the very cozy Basement.
Nashville’s own Gretchen Peters is always great and she opens the evening at the Rutledge.
You also don’t want to miss Corb Lund, who plays at the Mercy Lounge at 10.

–Steve Forbert has been around for a long time – can it really have been more than 34 years since Alive on Arrival? – and there’s some weariness showing on his latest album, Over With You. Most of the 10 songs deal with the difficulties of relationships – maintaining one (“Baby I Know,” “All I Ask of You”), losing one (“Over With You”), looking for a new one (“All I Need”), even fantasizing about restarting an old one (“That’d Be Alright”).
Forbert brings to this subject a lot of experience and a plaintive, wistful tone that’s well suited to his material. “Forever’s such an easy word to say or write on paper/All things end in time,” he sings in the title track, a gentle goodbye that transcends the pain of a breakup to wish a former partner happiness and peace of mind.
Forbert takes on a bigger theme in “Pollyanna,” which deals with the struggle to make it in tough economic times. “Your west side home they foreclosed on/is someone else’s dream come true today,” he sings, before concluding, “The world and how to work it/is a book you should have read.”
Forbert gets instrumental help from Ben Sollee on cello and bass, Jason Yates on keyboards, Michael Jerome on drums and Sheldon Gomberg on bass. Ben Harper contributes guitar on several songs, including a nice part on the bouncy “That’d Be Alright.”
Those who remember Steve Forbert mostly from his biggest hit, the breezy “Romeo’s Tune” from 1979, might find this rather somber collection hard to like. But he’s still an intelligent and perceptive writer, and his distinctive voice, grittier with the years, delivers his words convincingly.
(Steve Forbert will appear at the Americana Music Festival in Nashville on Sept. 13.)

–(The World Famous Headliners will perform at the Americana Music Festival on Sept. 14 at 10 p.m. at the Rutledge in Nashville.)
The World Famous Headliners’ name is tongue-in-cheek, but at the band’s core are some world-class songwriters.
Al Anderson (ex-NRBQ), Shawn Camp, Pat McLaughlin have teamed with the expert rhythm section of Michael Rhodes on bass and Greg Morrow on drums on a debut album that’s all over the map musically and fun throughout.
I suppose the closest parallel was the union of Ry Cooder, John Hiatt and Nick Lowe in Little Village, but these guys are enjoying themselves a lot more.
“Give Your Love to Me” sounds like a lost Dave Edmunds track, “Mamarita” smacks of Little Feat and Levon Helm would have nailed “Ball and Chain.” There’s also some era-hopping here, with the classic country sound of “Heart of Gold” and “Take Me Back” and “Can I,” a bit of garage rock that could have charted in 1967.
The debut album – derivative and original at the same time – will be released on Aug. 21.

Early registration for the 13th annual Americana Music Association Festival and Conference, set for Sept. 12-15, 2012 in Nashville is now open.
This is one of the best music festivals in the nation, and always attracts an intriguing mix of artists. This year, Gregg Allman, Robert Plant, the Civil Wars and a Muscle Shoals tribute were all on the bill.
The AMA is offering an early bird registration of $250 for association members and $350 for non-members. Registration at the convention hotel is also now open.
Jim Lauderdale joined Suzy Bogguss, Will Kimbrough and Eric Brace in an in-the-round show at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville last night. It was as engaging and entertaining an evening as that line-up suggests.
Lauderdale has been Americana music’s best friend, hosting the annual awards show at the Ryman auditorium, while also releasing some of the genre’s best music. His new album Reason and Rhyme just received a Grammy nomination for best bluegrass album.
We spoke with him after the show last night, while the room was still buzzing and folks were still loud, as evidenced by the background noise on this interview. Here Lauderdale talks about working with Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter and his great respect for Americana music.
Sun209 chronicles rock, roots and Americana music, drawing its name from the catalog number of Elvis Presley's first single, the Big Bang of contemporary music.
