Wanda Jackson's The Party Ain't Over isn't due out for two weeks still, set for release on Third Man / Nonesuch Records January 25, but the BBC review is out now and calling the Jack White-produced album "rich, warm, big-hearted and hilarious."

"Just as he encouraged Loretta Lynn to one of the finest albums of her life, in 2004’s Van Lear Rose," writes the BBC's Andrew Mueller of White, "he may, at this late stage, have brought the very best out of Jackson."

Mueller goes on to commend the album's "astute" song selection and praise the band, which includes White, as "all contributing to a sumptuous, brassy stew of country and blues."

The reviewer saves his final praise for Jackson herself, noting fittingly that none of the above "would matter if age had wearied Jackson’s voice, but it doesn't sound like age has even been trying."

To read the full album review, visit bbc.co.uk.

You can pre-order The Party Ain't Over now on vinyl and CD in the Nonesuch Store, where a limited number include an exclusive, limited-edition poster autographed by Jackson, and all orders include the complete album as high-quality, 320 kbps MP3s available from release day.

Tune in to the Grand Ole Opry this Saturday to hear a short set from Jackson and the Third Man House Band, featuring Jack White on guitar, broadcast from the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. Also on the show are Del McCoury and Vince Gill, among others. Listen in online Saturday at 7 PM CST via WSM at wsmonline.com.

    Guitarist/composer Yasmin Williams stopped by the NPR offices in Washington, DC, to perform a Tiny Desk Concert of songs from her new album, Acadia, and more. "Williams is a fingerstyle guitarist who taps, slaps and slides up and down the fretboard of her instrument with a commanding sense of scenery that flickers between the strings," says NPR's Lars Gotrich. "Storytellers build worlds; at the Tiny Desk, Williams invites us into hers." You can watch it here.
