Here’s the first of a series of posts featuring video from SXSW 2008, recorded at the Dell Lounge. Our sponsor Dell partnered with Variety on these videos. This is an interview segment featuring the great Wanda Jackson, the queen of rockabilly. Jackson recounts her experience with Elvis and other greats from the late 50s. Jackson has graced SXSW stages and conference rooms a few times over the years. It’s always a pleasure to present royalty.

Here’s some YouTube goodness we found via wandajackson. com, an early TV performance of “Let’s Have A Party” featuring a young Glen Campbell on guitar.
