Before she became the international pop star behind hits such as “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” and “Time After Time,” Cyndi Lauper was the singer in a band called Blue Angel that brought a distinct rockabilly flavor to the Eighties New Wave. It wasn’t exactly country, per se, but she had clearly absorbed some musical lessons from Jerry Lee Lewis and Wanda Jackson.

Lauper puts those influences front and center on her version of “Heartaches by the Number”.
