SPEAKER_01: Hello.From Wonder Media Network, I'm Jenny Kaplan, and this is Womanica.This month, we're talking about women of sound.These women dominated the airwaves, innovating, documenting, and creating the audio landscape we live in today. A woman in her 70s perches atop a wooden stool on a stage.She wears an old-fashioned pink ball gown with puffy sleeves.Her hair is big and puffy, too, and she wears thick, wire-rimmed glasses.She looks like she could be somebody's grandma, except for the bright red electric guitar slung around her shoulder.She takes a moment to breathe.Then notes start exploding out of her guitar at an almost impossible speed.
Her name is Cordell Jackson. She never got very famous as a musician, but she was an unsung pioneer of rock and roll, shredding on her guitar long before the genre took over American radio waves.Cordell was born on July 15, 1923, in the little town of Pontotoc, Mississippi.She exhibited her musical talents early in life, learning banjo, harmonica, upright bass, and piano. Her father, William Miller, was a career musician and played with a band called the Pontotoc Ridge Runners.By the time Cordell was 12, her father was letting her play with the band.That's when she took a liking to the guitar.People would tell Cordell, little girls don't play guitar, and she'd fire back, well, I do. Cordell's style of playing was frenetic and ferocious.As Cordell put it, Whatever song it was, I always creamed it.
I play fast.I have always gyrated it up.She was a pioneer in terms of her style.Today, listeners might classify Cordell's music as rock or rockabilly.But Cordell always maintained she'd been playing that way since she picked up a guitar, long before those genres blew up in the 1950s and 60s. She said, In 1943, Cordell married William Jackson, and the couple moved to Memphis, Tennessee.Cordell was determined to make a name for herself in the town's booming music scene.She struck up a friendship with Sam Phillips, the producer who went on to create Sun Records.He was impressed with her songwriting and musical talent.But Sam didn't want to sign a woman.
None of the record labels in Memphis did.So, Cordell made her own label, Moon Records.The business was based in her living room, where she'd write, produce, and engineer songs.She became one of the first women in American history to record and produce her own music.She released the holiday tracks Bebopper's Christmas and Rock and Roll Christmas.But for most of her career, Cordell was more focused on making songs for other people. She wrote and produced for regional artists like Earl Patterson, Johnny Tate, and Alan Page.Alan was the first artist to perform Dateless Night, one of the most popular songs Cordell wrote.Cordell, and all the artists she'd signed at Moon Records, never really broke into mainstream success.So during the 1960s and 70s, she had a series of jobs outside of music.
She was an interior decorator, a DJ at a Memphis radio station, and ran a junk shop. But in the 1980s, she met musician Tav Falco of the band Panther Burns.He'd done a version of Dateless Night.And when he found out it was Cordell's song, he invited her to play with his band.Cordell was in her 60s and had never played a gig in front of a live audience.But she accepted Tav's invite.And once she started getting up on stage, audiences ate her up.The juxtaposition of her sweet maternal appearance and her nasty guitar skills was wacky and wonderful. For the next two decades, Cordell played gigs at clubs in cities like New York and Chicago.She mostly performed alone, though she was sometimes backed by the Brooklyn-based band the A-Bones.
In the 1990s, she booked a Budweiser national television commercial, introducing a wider audience to the rock and roll granny. She also appeared on several popular talk shows, including Late Night with David Letterman.Cordell released her first and only full-length album in 1997.It was a recording of a set she played live on stage in Chicago and featured both Cordell's nimble guitar playing and her bright, folksy singing voice.Cordell passed away from pancreatic cancer on October 14, 2004, in Memphis.She was 81 years old. All month, we're talking about women of sound.For more information, find us on Facebook and Instagram at Womanica Podcast.Special thanks to Liz Kaplan, my favorite sister and co-creator.Talk to you tomorrow.
