Jackson’s 1967 album, 'Reckless Love Affair,' saw her leaning further into the country and western sound that had begun to dominate her work in the mid-60s. It features a blend of upbeat honky-tonk numbers and dramatic ballads, showcasing her powerful vocal delivery.

Wanda Jackson is a pioneering American singer and guitarist, known as the "Queen of Rockabilly" for her role in popularizing a female-driven iteration of the genre in the late 1950s and 60s. By 1967, Jackson had transitioned towards a more country-influenced sound, moving away from the raw rockabilly that had defined her early career.
