Right or Wrong Album

RIGHT OR WRONG

Wanda Jackson became the “queen of rockabilly” when Elvis Presley himself encouraged her to sing rockabilly when she toured with him in 1955-1956, but she began moving toward pure country when she had an early hit song with the title track “Right or Wrong” on her 1961 album Right or Wrong. Near the end of the arc of her rockabilly career, she recorded one of the songs on my All-Time Top Ten, the sublime “Funnel of Love” with her hot new band, the Party Timers that featured a young Roy Clark. This was yet another song that was introduced to me on a Born Bad CD.
