Mean old Man

[Dirk B.]

I guess even if the producers would select songs that would suit Jerry's ability he wouldn't record them...

[bluesinc.]

Yes, it's a pity that record producers can't select something for him to record that suits his current ability. I think we'd all appreciate an album that didn't include WLS and GBOF, and certainly no more live albums. Wonder what his proposed gospel album will be like?

where it is? that´s the question. inormation please

I've always thought of him as more of a country artist anyway (around 80% of his studio recordings have been country). It's what he does best.

I consider him a Rock & Roll artist, because that's what he's known for. Despite his comeback as a country artist in the 60s when people think of him they think of him pounding out WLS, & especially GBOF. In my opinion the reason people keep going to see him today is to see the Rock & roller, But he is very underrated as a country artist.

Totally agree with Logan

Some of jerry's country tunes are classics

So underrated

Definitely, though I'd also say that some of his rock & roll is a little overrated.

Great Balls Of Fire? Probably one of the worse songs of the 50s, certainly shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Johnny B. Goode or Ain't That A Shame or Jailhouse Rock or Summertime Blues (or even Breathless and High School Confidential). Horrible, horrible song (I'd want to take lots of drugs too if I had to sing it every night!).

A JLL fan that doesn't like GBOF?

Why should I? He's recorded 100's of other songs, many of which I love.

Perhaps more shocking is Jerry Lee Lewis hating his 3rd biggest hit, and even 50 years ago he avoided playing it more often than not.
