I seem to have created an interest for female rock and roll singers from the fifties. All thanks to the wonderful Janis Martin.
Besides her I'm also aware of Wanda Jackson, Brenda Lee, Peggy Lee, Jean Shepard, Rose Maddox and Jean Chapel.

Now, my obvious question: Do you know more?? Or do you know a website about this? It's kinda hard looking for things like this on allmusic. Any suggestion is welcome.

Thanks!

Just what liberal translation of Rock are using to include Peggy Lee, Jean Shepeard, and Rose Maddox?



If you're looking for Rockabilly.....Lorrie Collins. She married DA Man in Black's manager when she was seventeen.
