We continue with the story of Wanda Jackson in this episode and then finish off by tackling the tale of Brenda Lee. This episode features clips of an interview Brenda Lee did with Tanya Pearson on the podcast "Women in Rock Oral History Project," which I strongly recommend everyone checking out!

Ep. 3.9: Hard Headed Women pt.1
In what was originally intended to be a single episode on the three Founding Mothers of Rockabilly--Janis Martin, Wanda Jackson, and Brenda Lee--this is being released as "Part 1" in which we'll visit the story of Janis Martin and half of Wanda Jackson's. These women were breaking boundaries long before Madonna or Courtney Love, and have continued to rock even up 'til today. You can't listen to this episode and not come away a fan of these women.

Ep. 3.8: Big O and The Killer
Wrapping up our coverage of Sam Phillips' cadre of rock pioneers, we will look at the last two artists to come out of that cohort: Roy Orbison and Jerry Lee Lewis. However, other than recording with Sun Records, these two men had almost nothing else in common. One was a reluctant rocker pining for a career recording soulful ballads, while the other was an impulsive-yet-repressed sex addict who lived a life filled with equal parts pleasure and guilt.
