Born in Mississippi in 1923 and rooted in Memphis TN, Cordell Jackson was a resounding example of rock and roll tenacity. Inspired by her father, Cordell was an accomplished instrumentalist, excelling at guitar, harmonica, upright bass, and piano. In 1947, she became the first female recording engineer and producer in the United States. After seven years of writing and recording demos of her material with her friend , Sam Phillips at the legendary Sun Studios, she established her own record label, Moon Records. In 1992, rock and roll's grandmother was inducted into the Smithsonian Institution, and in 1994, she was immortalized in the Hard Rock Cafe archives as a legendary guitarist. An icon of rockabilly and blues, she has appeared in the motion picture "Great Balls of Fire" and was featured in Budweiser commercials with Brian Setzer. She was a guest of David Letterman, Regis and Kathy Lee, and has been featured in Spin, Entertainment Tonight, MTV, and Bill board. In 1995, Bughouse Records brought her to Schubas Tavern in Chicago to capture her live performance and it was magical. No overdubs needed. This is Cordell's only full length record and live recording. Sadly Cordell passed away in 2004.
