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."

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.

    Listen: Steve Reich on NPR's 'Weekend Edition'

    "People have been calling Steve Reich the greatest living composer for more than 25 years," says NPR's Weekend Edition host Ayesha Rascoe in her introduction to Reich's interview with NPR's Tom Huizenga on the release of the 27-disc box set Steve Reich Collected Works. About the collection, the composer says: "It makes me feel very good ... It's another way of saying the music is going to get out there. The music is going to have a life independent of me ... It's a great thing. And I'm very proud that it happened. And now I'm busily working on the next piece." You can hear them on NPR's Weekend Edition here.

Nonesuch made its first record with Steve Reich in 1985; he was signed exclusively to the label that year. Collected Works includes 24 discs of Nonesuch recordings and three from other labels. You can watch an unboxing video narrated by the composer here.
