JERRY LEE LEWIS : The Knox Phillips Sessions(The Unreleased Recordings )

'The Unreleased Recordings'. Over the course of several nights, Knox Phillips (son of Sun records founder Sam Phillips) recorded Jerry Lee Lewis as he crossed the breadth of American music from Stephen Foster to Jim Croce's still-current hit 'Big Bad Leroy Brown'. Alongside a 19th century gospel standard, 'Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior', Jerry drawled his way imperiously through pop classics like 'I'm Looking Over A Four-Leaf Clover' and 'Harbor Lights', and timeless country hits like 'Room Full Of Roses'. Although he wrote none of them, Jerry Lee imprints himself forcefully upon them all, perhaps never more so than on the bitterly regretful 'Look At That Fool'. In all, there are ten songs capturing one of the true, enduring giants of American music at his best. He played the music that he wanted to record and made every song into an expression of himself. There have been plenty of Jerry Lee Lewis records, but none like this!
