“Well I've been to Nagasaki, Hiroshima too, the thing I did to them, baby, I can do to you”. Lord have mercy! “Fujiyama Mama” is an early album highlight as the lil’ Rockabilly Raver sets out her stall. Although a country girl at heart, she had a receptive Rock n Roll audience and this LP was completely theirs. Wanda has three self-penned tunes on-board, one of which, “Mean, Mean Man” is another highlight. Her whoops and hollers together with the hammered piano and repetitive riffage make for a route-one winner. It’s pretty much a solid set throughout, although the cutesy pop of “You’re The One For Me” and “Don’a Wan’a” are a bit of a let-down. Best track of the set is delivered at the very end; on “I Gotta Know” we get two sides of Wanda, country vs rockabilly, on the one tune. It’s great fun, and a memorable way to finish off this feel-good affair.
