Background and content
When first signed to Capitol Records in the 1950s, Wanda Jackson became known to audiences through a series of Rockabilly releases, including the top 40 pop single "Let's Have a Party". In 1961, she made the transition to country music and had two top ten charting singles that year. She continued releasing a series of country albums and singles during the decade, remaining popular in the field as well.[1] In the early 1970s, Capitol continually changed producers on her recording sessions, according to Jackson. She was assigned to producer Larry Butler for I've Gotta Sing after having production disagreements with her prior producer, George Richey.[2]
I've Gotta Sing contained a total of ten tracks.[3] The album comprised a selection of country tracks. The album's liner notes explain the reason for its title: "A girl who has everything's just gotta sing...and Wanda Jackson's got all the talent there is," it explains. Both the title track and "I'm Gonna Walk Out of Your Life" were the album's only new tracks. The remaining songs were covers. Covers on the project include Conway Twitty's "Hello Darlin'", Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water", The Four Preps' "Love of the Common People" and George Hamilton IV's "Break My Mind". The record was recorded between February and June 1970 at the Jack Clement Studio in Nashville, Tennessee.[4]
