    Thanks for this, Rufus. I think I’m now in love with her.

    The good news keep on rolling in — at least as of 2010, she’s still actively performing.Report

      Yeah, I knew she was doing interviews and I’m pretty sure she’s gotten into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. There really needs to be a compilation album for her. That song “No Way Out” is also great and her song with the Slades “I Cheated”, a response song to the Slades’ hit “You Cheated” has more soul than 100 current songs. At some point, Sundazed or someone needs to do a comp record for her since her stuff is on three or four labels. If I ever get money, I’d put one out myself. At the very least, I’d buy it.Report
