Let's
Have a Party in Prague is a studio album by American recording artist
Wanda Jackson and European recording artist Karel Zich. It was released
on the Supraphon label in 1988 and contained a total of 13 tracks. The
album was a collection of Rockabilly songs released exclusively for the
European market. It was Jackson's first collaborative studio album and
Zich's second. One single was spawned from the album in 1988.
Wanda
Jackson was among the first women to have commercial success in both
country music and Rockabilly (later known as rock and roll) music. Her
singles included "Let's Have a Party", "In the Middle of a Heartache"
and "The Box It Came In". She focused more on gospel music in the 1970s
and recorded a series of albums for several spiritual labels. By the
1980s, her popularity had waned and she recalled feeling past her prime
in her 2017 autobiography. However, in 1984, Jackson learned of
Rockabilly's revival in Europe and recorded her first rock album in
several decades the same year. Among the European rock projects she
collaborated on was with Czech performer Karel Zich.
Known as the
"Iron Curtain Elvis", Zich's Rockabilly records found success in several
eastern European countries. Jackson recalled in a 2005 interview first
meeting Zich at a Czech airport and began recording an album shortly
after. Let's Have a Party in Prague was recorded at the Supraphon studio
in Prague, a capital of the Czech Republic. Sessions were held in May
1987 alongside producer Stanislav Chmelik who recorded 13 tracks with
the pair. All of the songs were duets between both artists, including a
re-working of Jackson's "Mean Mean Man", "Let's Have a Party" and "Right
or Wrong". Zich contributed five self-composed songs to the project.
Also included was a cover of Johnny Cash and June Carter's "Jackson".
