Right Or Wrong

Recorded in Nashville's Bradley Film and Recording Studio on October 28, 1960, "Right Or Wrong" marked one of Wanda Jackson's first sessions in the country music capital. Produced by Ken Nelson, the song finds Jackson in a devoted headspace, vowing to stand by her man "right or wrong." This shift toward a more conservative theme contrasted with Jackson's earlier, more rebellious material, such as "Fujiyama Mama" and "Hard Headed Woman."

Released as a single in 1961, "Right Or Wrong" had a respectable chart performance, reaching #29 on the Billboard Hot 100. However, it's the single's B-side, "Funnel Of Love," that aged well and is now considered one of Jackson's most celebrated recordings.

"Right Or Wrong" was a turning point for Jackson. Following a string of rock and roll-tinged singles in the late 1950s, it signaled a return to mainstream country music. In the book Finding Her Voice: Women in Country Music by Mary A. Bufwack and Robert K. Oermann, Jackson reflected on this shift, noting: "Country music began comin' back, and I had written a ballad called 'Right or Wrong' and it became a big hit. I think that when I went back to country I lost my rock and roll fans."
