Wanda Jackson's video of the Bob Dylan great “Thunder on the Mountain,” off her forthcoming album, The Party Ain't Over, premiered on AOL Spinner this morning. "The Queen of Rockabilly covering possibly the greatest singer-songwriter ever alongside one of today's most prolific artists, is a pretty easy sell," says Spinner. "That said, Wanda Jackson and Jack White's new version of Bob Dylan's 'Thunder on the Mountain' is even better than it sounds on paper." Watch it here.
Wanda Jackson's brand-new retro-style video of the Bob Dylan great “Thunder on the Mountain,” off her forthcoming album, The Party Ain't Over, premiered on AOL Spinner this morning. Shot on location at United Record Pressing in Nashville, the video features her producer and bandmate Jack White on guitar, along with the Third Man House Band, and includes enough vintage tube amps, fabulous guitars and classic cool to do the “Queen of Rockabilly” proud.
The "Thunder on the Mountain" video was shot by Dylan Southern and William Lovelace of 32 (who have worked with Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand, and Blur, among others).
"The Queen of Rockabilly covering possibly the greatest singer-songwriter ever alongside one of today's most prolific artists, is a pretty easy sell," says Spinner's Dan Reilly. "That said, Wanda Jackson and Jack White's new version of Bob Dylan's 'Thunder on the Mountain' is even better than it sounds on paper."
