About this listen
Rockabilly singer Wanda Jackson and actor Robert Forster on this edition of Fresh Air. Wanda Jackson had several hits in the late 50s and early 60s, including "Mean Mean Man", "Let's Have a Party", and "Fujiyama Mama". In the 70s she kept recording music, mostly gospel. She's 65 now and still touring. She's just released her first studio recording in 15 years, Heart Trouble.Guest musicians, including Elvis Costello and The Cramps, join her for several tracks. In the 1960s, actor Robert Forster starred in films like Medium Cool and Reflections in a Golden Eye. Then, for the next 20-some years, he appeared in B-movies and horror films. His career was resurrected with his role as a bail-bondsman in Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown. Recently, he's starred in Mulholland Drive, Me, Myself and Irene and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. Now he plays Marshall Sisco in the new ABC series Karen Sisco. (Broadcast Date: November 5, 2003)
