Jerry Lee Lewis to record live album
Rock & Roll icon Jerry Lee Lewis will perform a special one-off live concert on Saturday, April 16th at Jack White´s Third Man Records in Nashville, TN. The show will be recorded direct to analog tape at the Third Man complex in downtown Nashville, with Jack White producing, as with all the Third Man recordings. Lewis´ live show will then be pressed and packaged locally at United Record Pressing just down the street from Third Man and will be sold at the label´s retail outlet within weeks, reminiscent of the spontaneous releases of Lewis´ early career. It has been over half a century since true American original Jerry Lee Lewis first rocketed to the top of America´s pop, country and R&B charts with *Whole Lotta Shakin´Goin´On* and *Great Balls of Fire*.
While those iconoclastic performances still define the essence of rock´n´roll for millions, The Killer himself continues to thrill audiences around the world with his unique, scorching blend of rock, blues, country and gospel–and will no doubt do so at Third Man, backed by a stellar band of Steve Cropper (guitarist of Booker T & The MGs and Stax catalogue acclaim), Jim Keltner (drummer for three of the Beatles formative solo efforts, Bob Dylan, Neil Young and more) and Jack Lawrence (bassist for The Raconteurs, Greenhornes, Loretta Lynn and The Dead Weather).
Tickets will be $30 and are on sale April 5th, at the Third Man store front at 623 7th Avenue South in Nashville and in our online store. Doors will open 4pm and the show will begin at 5pm on Saturday. April 16th.
Please note (07. April): Show is sold out!
