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.

    The Way Out of Easy, the first album from guitarist Jeff Parker and his long-running ETA IVtet—saxophonist Josh Johnson, bassist Anna Butterss, drummer Jay Bellerose—since their 2022 debut Mondays at the Enfield Tennis Academy, which Pitchfork named one of the Best Albums of the 2020s So Far, is out now on International Anthem / Nonesuch Records. Like that album, The Way Out of Easy comprises recordings from LA venue ETA, where Parker and the ensemble held a weekly residency for seven years. During that time, the ETA IVtet evolved from a band that played mostly standards into a group known for its transcendent, long-form journeys into innovative, groove-oriented improvised music. All four tracks on The Way Out of Easy come from a single night in 2023, providing an unfiltered view of the ensemble, fully in their element.

    The Staves' new EP Happy New Year, out today, includes three acoustic versions of tracks from their new album, All Now—"I Don't Say It, But I Feel It," "After School," and "All Now"—and a cover of The Beatles' "She's Leaving Home." Also out now: an acoustic performance video for "After School," which the duo calls "a love song to our sister Emily inspired by the bands we were listening to in the '90s. Putting on the rose-tinted glasses and embracing nostalgia."
