Man. No sooner do I completely fall in love with Wanda Jackson than Bloodshot announces the upcoming release of Hard-Headed Woman: A Tribute To Wanda Jackson, featuring Neko Case, Trailer Bride, Robbie Fulks and the whole Bloodshot gang.

Says Bloodshot: "Known to many as the Queen of Rockabilly, Wanda Jackson is a maverick performer whose influence has reached far beyond the genre and cast a long shadow on the history of music---both sonically and in her performance style: She is one of Rock and Roll's original bad-asses. Wanda helped stake out a direct route from the feral origins of rock to the punks, riot grrrls and psychobilly boundary-busters 50 years later."

The CD is due out either Tuesday, October 26 or Thursday, October 28 (depending which part of the website you're reading). The full track listing can be found here.
