Wanda Jackson has been named the Artist of the Day by Paste. She spoke with the magazine about her forthcoming album, The Party Ain't Over, and about some of the things she's picked up over the years working with the likes of producer Jack White and Elvis Presley. "Many consider her to be the first woman to write and perform rock ‘n’ roll," says Paste. On the new album, she proves that her "searing rock sensibility and trademark primal growl stand little changed."
