In the Garden

"In the Garden" Performed by Jerry Lee Lewis.

Brown Eyes

Three songs about brown eyes:

• Van Morrison with the Caledonian Soul Orchestra performing "Brown Eyed Girl"

• Wanda Jackson performing "Sparklin Brown Eyes"

• Jerry Lee Lewis performing "Brown Eyed Handsome Man"

Happy 80th Jerry Lee

Born 80 years ago today in Ferriday, La., here is Jerry Lee Lewis, when he was about 1/2 as old as he is now, performing "Who's Gonna Play This Old Piano".

I'll Fly Away

Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins performing "I'll Fly Away".

Still Shakin'

Pushing 80 and still shakin'. Two performances of "Whole Lotta Shakin Goin On" by Jerry Lee Lewis—1957 and 2015. Who would have ever thought he could last this long.

Life Is Like a Mountain Railroad

Here is  Jerry Lee Lewis' rather rowdy performance of "Life Is Like a Mountain Railroad".

Sun Studio Tour

Sun Records Studio Tour with JM Van Eaton, the drummer on many of the hits recorded here.



I am not sure, but I think this is the "Crazy Arms" recording referred to in the video above.

Beyond the Sun

Chris Isaak released an album last year titled Beyond the Sun. It was recorded at the Sun Studio in Memphis where Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis made their early recording. Some videos related to the album.

I also posted a great video of Isaak and Stevie Nicks performing "Red River Valley" back on my 9/13/10 post.

"It's Now Or Never" & "Great Balls Of Fire"—Both songs on the album



Isaak discussing recording the album.



This song is not on the album, but I can't pass up this video of Isaak and Jerry Lee Lewis Performing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow".

Christmas

A couple Christmas tunes.

Jerry Lee Lewis - Blue Christmas



She & Him - Rockin Around the Christmas Tree



Allen Toussaint - The Day It Snows On`Christmas

This Train

Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison and Carl Perkins perform "This Train".

Goodnight, Irene

One more post for the hurricane, before I go to bed.

"Goodnight, Irene" - Jerry Lee Lewis & Van Morrison

Happy Birthday Jerry Lee Lewis

Today—September 29— is Jerry Lee Lewis' 75th Birthday. So a couple videos as a Happy Birthday salute.

The title track from his recently released album, "Mean Old Man"



A short interview about the new album, which includes the piano his family bought him when he was 8 years old.

We Remember the King

Elvis Presley died 33 years ago today. To mark the date here is a 1985 video of Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison and Carl Perkins singing "We Remember the King". Of these four only Jerry Lee Lewis is still alive. I guess his last album was appropriately titled Last Man Standing.

Jerry Lee Lewis

Today's pianist is Jerry Lee Lewis.

I think "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin On" was Jerry Lee's first hit single in 1956




"Crazy Arms" was the first song Jerry Lee released, but I don't think it was a hit at the time.




Here is a video of "Another Place, Another Time" from his foray into country music.



Jerry Lee is in his 70's and still touring, so here a a video of a performance from last summer. This is 53 years after the first video in this post.

Rock & Roll

Since we started the week of with the beginning of Rock & Roll, I have decided to post a couple songs about Rock & Roll to end the week.

First, Tina Turner & Mick Jagger singing "It's Only Rock & Roll (But I Like It)"



Another great duet, Etta James & Chuck Berry performing "Rock & Roll Music".



I wanted to include a video of Bob Seger doing "Give Me That Old Time Rock & Roll". The only video of that I can find with decent audio, includes Tom Cruise in his underwear, so I have decided to skip that. Instead here is the audio of Jerry Lee Lewis & Jimmy Page doing the Led Zepplin song "Rock & Roll". This is from an album of duets that Jerry Lee Lewis recorded a couple years ago.
