Jerry+lee+lewis

Linda Gail Lewis - sister and frequent collaborator of rock n' roll founding father, Jerry Lee Lewis - proudly presents this splendid, heartfelt tribute to her sibling and musical partner! Recorded at the legendary Sun Studios, where Jerry recorded many of his foundational hits, and produced by rockabilly guitar extraordinaire Danny B. Harvey with special guests Slim Jim Phantom (Stray Cats) and Linda's daughter Annie Marie Lewis! Linda has been performing most of these songs live for years but she was inspired to cut studio versions that capture the song's original energy while sonically updating them!

From the rock n' roll revolutionary responsible for hits like "Great Balls of Fire" and "Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On" comes a collection of remastered rare stereo mixes from the Sun Records archive. Jerry Lee Lewis, considered one of the last standing original rock n' roll stars when he passed away in 2022, rocks and rolls his way through multi-track takes of songs like "Money" and "Ramblin' Rose," and features his versions of hits like "What'd I Say" and "Be-Bop-a-Lula."

Four-disc monument to the Killer, containing no filler… What with one thing and another, it took the Grand Ole Opry a while to invite Jerry Lee Lewis to make his debut. Sixteen years, in fact, from his first hits (“Whole Lotta Shakin’ Going On”, “Great Balls Of Fire” ) to finally ushering the Killer onto the stage of Nashville’s Ryman auditorium in January 1973. The high temple of the country music establishment had their reasons for hesitating. Lewis was not known for family-friendly behaviour, unless one counts as such already having three families by this point – one, to the detriment of his box office, with a cousin he’d wed when she was thirteen. But he’d grown up, surely. He was pushing 40. He’d married for a fourth time, to someone old enough to vote. And he was reinventing himself as a proper country singer – he’d had hits with versions of Kris Kristofferson’s “Me & Bobby McGee”, Jimmie Rodgers’ “Waiting For A Train” and Ray Griff’s “Who’s Gonna Play This Old Piano?”. The Opry prepared to formally welcome the black sheep to the fold.

BGO's 2013 two-fer combines two Jerry Lee Lewis albums from 1971: Touching Home and Would You Take Another Chance on Me? The Killer made his country comeback in 1968, so these records came in the thick of his period as a reliable country hitmaker – and, appropriately enough, there are hits here. Specifically, Touching Home has the title track, which reached number three on the U.S. country charts, and "When He Walks on You (Like You Have Walked on Me)," which made it to 11, and Would You Take Another Chance on Me? has the number one title track in its languid ballad and "Me and Bobby McGee," which was his first song to crack the pop Top 40 since 1961's "What I'd Say."
