Wanda Jackson with the Cadillac Angels
These are pics from last night's Wanda Jackson show. Santa Barbara's Cadillac Angels opened and backed up the Queen of Rockabilly when she performed.
The Cadillac Angels: Tony Balbinot on guitar, Steve Carter (formerly of the Neptunes) newly enthroned on the bass and Brian Fahey (formerly of the late lamented Paladins) on drums. Their songs ranged between slow, smoky surf instrumentals to rockabilly stompers. Did I hear a bit of Roy Orbison in Balbinot's voice on the slower love songs? Excellent.
After the Cadillac Angels finished their set, Wanda Jackson took the stage. The place was absolutely packed. The crowd ranged from country fans in their fifties and sixties to thirty something scenesters to rockabilly pin-up girls to young lesbians there to up the sisterhood. An interesting moment came when Jackson led the diverse crowd in a sing along of "I Saw the Light."
Wanda Jackson and her custom pink Daisy Rock guitar.
I can't think of a clever caption for this...but she seems really interested in talking to me, don't she? The white haired gentleman is her husband Wendell Goodman, who must be so tired of hearing about Elvis by now.
Hasta la proxima. Do zobaczenia.
