Few artists can fuse genres as effortlessly as Linda Lewis. Gifted with an incredible 5 octave vocal range, her unique sound contains elements of Folk, Soul, Pop and Rock and has won the admiration of artists from Stevie Wonder to Paul Weller, Jamiroquai and Noel Gallagher, who Linda recently recorded backing vocals for.

Despite several rough patches at the end of the 1970s, Linda Lewis rebounded with glorious aplomb on her September 1983 album, A Tear and a Smile. More than any of its predecessors, this album finds the singer in complete control of both her songwriting and her remarkable, dynamic vocal range – at the same time continuing down the path she forged during the previous decade. From start to finish, the songs are filled to bursting with soft ballads and wildly far-reaching grooves, helped along by Bert de Coteaux's immaculate production. But, as good as "I Am What I Am" and the haunting "Sweet Heartache" are, where she gathers her force and puts all her strengths together is on the absolutely stunning title track. Self-penned, "A Tear and a Smile" finds Lewis running without any flaws at all. That just leaves room (and barely!) for "Why Can't I Be the Other Woman," a duet between Lewis and Luther Vandross.

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!
