Sierra Ferrell has once again showcased her exceptional versatility with a captivating cover of Wanda Jackson’s “Funnel of Love.” Known for her ability to seamlessly navigate various musical genres, Ferrell’s latest rendition further cements her reputation as a genre-spanning artist.
In February, Ferrell collaborated with Mirror Mirror Network to revisit iconic hits from the 1960s. Following a well-received cover of Sam Cooke’s “Cupid,” Ferrell has now tackled Jackson’s classic rockabilly track, originally released in 1961.
Wanda Jackson, celebrated as the Queen of Rockabilly, infused “Funnel of Love” with a gritty vocal performance and surf rock melody, distinct from her smoother hit “Right or Wrong.” Jackson’s dynamic sound made “Funnel of Love” a standout track, demonstrating her innovative blend of country and rockabilly.
Ferrell, who has expressed a desire to explore surf rock, delivers a whimsical touch to the song with her saw accompaniment, blending her unique style with Jackson’s raw energy. Her rendition highlights both her admiration for Jackson and her own distinctive sound, making it clear that Ferrell’s exploration of different musical styles is a thrilling journey for fans.
