STUCK IN THE VINYL AGAIN - JERRY LEE LEWIS AND LINDA GAIL LEWIS - TOGETHER

[maggot]

Good morning, morning people and welcome back to the Tuesday edition of Stuck In The Vinyl Again. On this date in history, November 23rd, 1976, "rock & roll's first great wild man", Jerry Lee Lewis, lived up to that description, after brandishing a gun at the gates of Elvis Presley's Graceland, demanding to see the King. He was arrested and later released on $250 bond. To mark this somewhat weird occasion, we spotlight his 1969 Smash Records duet album with his Sister Linda Gail Lewis, The LP, produced by Jerry Kennedy, sees the two cover Johnny and June, Chuck Berry, Buck Owens, Paul Clayton, and more. It reached #8 on the Country Albums chart and it's sole single,  "Don't Let Me Cross Over" peaked at #12 on the Country Singles chart.
