Country Keepsakes is a studio album by American recording artist Wanda Jackson. It was released in March 1973 via Capitol Records and contained ten tracks. The album was Jackson's twenty first studio recording and her final recording issued on the Capitol label. The record was a collection of country songs she made with Capitol to fulfill requirements in her contract before signing with Word Records.
Wanda Jackson signed with Capitol Records in 1956, recording a series of Rockabilly selections before transitioning into country music in the 1960s. She had significant commercial success in the years that followed. In 1971, Jackson discovered Christianity and decided to record more religious material, beginning with 1972's Praise the Lord. Jackson signed with Word Records in 1973 so she could further pursue religious music.[2] To fulfill obligations in her Capitol recording contract, Jackson released one final country album in 1973, which would be Country Keepsakes.[3]
