This quintessential release features one of Wanda Jackson’s most difficult to find LPs: Lovin’ Country Style. This sensational compilation released by Decca in 1962, showcases Wanda’s early rural-rooted country side. It includes seminal and lesser-known recordings taped between 1954 and 1955 prior to signing with Capitol Records in 1956.

Two years before, at age sixteen, Jackson signed with Decca Records as a country music artist but the label did not issue a proper LP until this 1962 singles compilation. This formidable and long unavailable album has been packaged in this very special collector’s edition, which also includes 3 bonus tracks from the same sessions, which were not included on the original Decca compilation. With these three hard to find sides, this release includes all existing takes from her Decca period. A young Wanda can be heard here giving excellent performances, which mix country, pop, blues, and original rock & roll.
