Oklahoma’s own “Queen of Rockabilly” Wanda Jackson debuted this morning the Seth Graves-directed music video for “Tore Down,” exclusively on GQ.com.

The Freddy King cover is the first single from her forthcoming album “Unfinished Business,” which is set to release on Oct. 9 on Sugar Hill Records.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and country music icon, 74, worked with producer/folk musician Justin Townes Earle to bring her back to her roots and showcase a side of the singer that fans haven’t heard in some time.

“From day one I really liked Justin’s idea to take me back to my roots and make a record of country, blues, and rockabilly songs,” Jackson recently told Rolling Stone. “The band was extra tight and great to work with during the whole process. The record just sounds terrific and I’m hoping that my fans enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it.”
