Reckless Love Affair

Wanda Jackson

A Nashville-produced concept of heartbreak and infidelity. Wanda Jackson trades her rockabilly growl for the polished, tearful precision of classic honky-tonk.

March 1967 · Capitol Records

Moments Worth Listening For
The weeping pedal steel intro on the title track that sets a tone of immediate regret.
Wanda's voice dropping to a vulnerable near-whisper during the bridge of What Have We Done.
The rhythmic, almost jaunty irony of the guitar line on Tears Will Be the Chaser for Your Wine.
