From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Work

There’s a Party Goin’ On · There's a Party Goin' On was released in January 1961 on Capitol Records. The sleeve describes it as a collection of good country songs in the rhythmic singing style of Wanda Jackson, who sang both country and rockabilly. The album contains twelve songs by well-known writers: the title song by Don Covay and John Berry, Kansas City by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, Lonely Week-Ends by Charlie Rich, It Doesn't Matter Anymore by Paul Anka and Fallin' by Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield.

AllMusic gave the album four stars. Reviewer Richie Unterberger called it a solid, energetic set, with lightning-fast rockabilly guitar work by Roy Clark. Most of the songs last only two to three minutes.
