Rockabilly legend Wanda Jackson is set to release her new album, The Party Ain't Over, next Tuesday. That album will feature a cover of an Amy Winehouse song, "You Know I'm No Good." I had the chance to hear the song over at NPR, where her entire album is streaming. It's a pretty good cover, though it doesn't come even close to Winehouse's original. The song is just better suited to Amy's voice. Hear the original and the cover below.

I can't tell whether she intends to mix up some of the lyrics, but she makes it work for her.
