A singer-songwriter, pianist, and guitarist, Jackson was well known for mixing country with her rockabilly music, an approach that served her well in the mid-1960s as rockabilly soon began to decline in popularity. Jackson produced a succession of successful country hits including “A Woman Lives for Love,” “Fancy Satin Pillows,” and “Tears Will Be the Chaser of Your Life.” In 2009, Jackson was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as an Early Influence to younger Americana fans.

This past October, Jackson released her thirty-first studio album, Unfinished Business. Produced by Americana singer-songwriter Justin Townes Earle, the album is deeply rooted in Jackson’s rockabilly and country style and features hit tracks such as “Tore Down,” “California Stars,” and “Am I Even a Memory?” Unfinished Business reached #58 on the Billboard 200 chart, and Jackson is now in the midst of a national tour to promote the album.

This session originally aired February 12, 2013.
