Cordell Jackson "The Split"

[@TheRedneckcityboys]

I lived down the street from her.. its been a long time but I believe this video was in her driveway. I also remember her drive that car. 28 years later I found an article she signed for me. Its the article with Brian Setzer.

[@versnellingspookie]

thats so cool! Would you mind takinga photo of that and dumping it on Imgur or something? that is seriously wicked...

[@spiritseeker1982]

Just came across her. Never heard of her and she pooped up. 😮 I’m learning lead rt now a 60 year young woman. She was born lil late. She rocks that axe! lol Look out lita Ford!!

[@mwatercress]

Very Cool!

[@BryanEddy09]

Wow..that would've been something else .

[@allaswain1858]

Cordell was a neighbor, really nice lady. That was filmed at her house on Scenic Highway in Memphis Tn.

[@murcoxc]

Did the house burn down? There is nothing there on that lot.

[@nick16279]

Does Cordell have any siblings that are still alive?

[@SuperGamer87]

She could make cookies AND rock 'n' roll. She must've been the coolest grandma ever.

[@stephenamos5473]

True

[@neverpreparedenough6431]

Thats rockabilly and she was killing it

[@robcampbell3235]

Agreed and when i went looking for her she was way too hard to find.

[@aqua6613]

She told Arthur Itis to go take a hike 😅. I thought my granny was cool, but not Cordel Jackson cool ❤ I came here because I was driving thought jackson tn after I left memphis and had no idea who Casey Jones was so I looked up a documentary and the next video was this lady right here. Glad I got to learn more about American history 🙌

Terrific! Go Cordell, early rocker! (I know she’s died, but rocking in our hearts.)

[@Brainsnap]

I don't know why this was recommended to me but it fucking rules

[@RobertFairweatherLuvMachine]

You live a good chunk of your life and you find something new. You become happy for bit. Something new, like Cordell. Damn, does she rock hard!

[@DylanKartWii]

You go Great Aunt Cordell! Wish you were still here to play for your family!

[@familysystem]

She is a cousin of my father’s mother…and that’s all I know. I wish I had records for this!

[@anthonytucker8913]

WOW what an awesome guitarist! She really knows how to play :-)

[@coupe662]

[@Kykeuria]

La edad es solo un número. Cordell Jackson (1923-2004), una guitarrista norteamericana considerada la primera mujer en producir, distribuir y encargarse de la ingeniería para su producción musical. Fue la primera mujer en crear una discográfica de rock & roll: Moon Records. La biografía de Jackson reescribe la historia del rock, pues ella ya tocaba rock and roll cuando ELVIS PRESLEY tan solo era un bebé, y esa música todavía no tenía ese nombre.⠀

[@JuanGarbanzoBean]

So happy I saw this

[@gisselamontenegro2620]

Maravillosa, inspiradora, la abuela del rock 😍😍

[@scottconnors8419]

[@DeliciousDeBlair]

[@amylambert2365]

Started her own record label in 1956 --- never too young!

[@Tuvgatan]

Very nice................Yes, hope she rest in peace, she should. And I like her guitar, the swedish Hagstrom Condor.........I want one of these...........

[@louisbrien7509]

Her ability led to owning her own record label

[@Cbarlow1]

Moon Records!

[@tombstoneharrystudios584]

She couldn’t get a record contract due to prejudice of the time so she started her own record company And that’s to be admired

[@tennrich11111]

Bill Vance looking good on the bass!!!

[@ivycompton]

Damn Cordell could rock! RIP.

[@janinesummer79fun4]

Wow,,,just AWESOME!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@katimartinezmartos8021]

Temazo mestizo rockabillero!!

[@ShiroSegawa]

I was suicidal since I was three, but after watching this video, now I want to live forever.

[@JudyGurl]

can I get a HELL YEAH?!

[@janetota1992]

Además de la música.. Amé el vestido de princesa!

[@NiCaNaMex]

2023. Todavía, ¡wow!

[@stocklet]

@cowboybear40 I'm kicking myself for spending my adolescence in MS just a few miles from Pontotoc, and never knowing she existed until now! Blind Melon I knew for the Butler Boys they were, and my parents used to live across the street from Elvis's birthplace, but this I missed.... I'm going to reassure myself by assuming that she was long gone from Pontotoc by then.

[@budje]

Rock on!

[@stuartmcdowall924]

What a treasure! So glad this video got made for people finding out about Cordell in the future

[@tlt8324]

[@joychip5994]

Wow

[@margaretbutcher1538]

She played that guitar like a banjo?

[@thesweetspotdiviner]

in a world where the word cool is so ubiquitous & over used to the point of being meaningless .... all i can say is cool like really cool unbelievably cool super fucking cool oh sooooooooo ccccccooooooolllllllllllllllllllll ... COOL !

[@tombstoneharrystudios584]

Why is it in every clip I’ve heard her chords are out of tune?

[@BryanClark-gk6ie]

Because she's always framing on the strings. That was the biggest part of her gimmick to get attention because she sucked.

[@tombstoneharrystudios584]

@ I assumed it was because she used that cheap guitar; it probably hadn’t seen a setup or re-fret in years (maybe she didn’t know about things like that) hence the out of tune sound

[@roastingears]

Ain't No Grave...

[@lokithor83]

They were studs i'd tell ya that! Bet you forgot you wrote this didn't ya!

[@raulbriseno5502]

Is this Grama Ramon’s?

[@cowboybear40]

Remember, she a Mississippi girl originally, which goes to show you Mississippi folk know how to rock!

[@arjhendrix]

nice debut Bro. 21 yrs after. I bet she is funnier/nicer/poolplayer than sis thorpe.(ignoreinabit) (ain't no grave) RIP

[@thomasstillman4805]

Poison Ivy's, Mother? 😆

[@ND066]

Grandma plays the drums?

[@OwensMusic1]

John Mayer brought me here

[@svenylford4047]

Praise the algorithm

[@user-rr3sh3yn6v]

She needs to tune that guitar.

[@tombstoneharrystudios584]

It’s a Hagstrom guitar; their quality control was appalling back into the day and that’s probably all she could afford or find in the 50s where she lived

[@aaaarrrgggghh]

hmmm not meaning to rain on her but I could play this very stuff better than this when I was 15 so I am not impressed one bit

[@HairMetalSalon]

But like.. without her you wouldn’t know what this stuff was is the point lol

[@tombstoneharrystudios584]

@@HairMetalSalonI think what the OP meant was that they couldn’t understand the fuss being made of her as a rock n roll granny Her technique and songwriting by todays standards is very basic and repetitive at best In the 50s as someone who was self taught, when there was little if any instruction available, she did very well But she isn’t that good as a guitarist

[@Goomer]

Awesome!
