Wanda Jackson ~ I Remember Elvis (2006)

Posting because it seems to no longer be available on digital platforms and no longer in print and I have the original CD. I'm guessing she recorded this a few years before 2006 and it somehow ended up in the slimy hands of Goldenlane. Great rockabilly album. Her voice gets better with age.
