Aug 24, 2021Only eight songs long, Encore builds momentum and then leaves the listener wanting for more. One can only hope that there’s a further encore for this Encore.

UncutAug 24, 2021She tears into bilious rockers "Big Baby" and "Two Shots" like the wildcat of yesteryear. ... But Jackson really comes into her own on a heart-rendering cover of Johnny Tillotson's "It Keeps Right On A Hurtin'" and co-written country ballad "That's What Love Is." [Oct 2021, p.28]

Sep 23, 2021What makes Encore work as a fresh-sounding record and eschews moldy nostalgia is that Jett finds modern rock in rockabilly, lacing the LP with crashing guitar guitars and rock and roll bass.

Aug 24, 2021Clocking in at a very 1950s 25 minutes, Encore doesn't feel like a major event and it doesn't add a great deal to the Wanda Jackson story, but it's a welcome reminder that the first truly great female rocker is still among us and hasn't surrendered to time, changing tastes, or the music business. Encore confirms that Wanda Jackson is still Wanda Jackson, and that's no small feat.
