Female Rockabilly Pioneer LINDA GAIL LEWIS Set To Release Heartfelt Tribute Album To Her Brother, JERRY LEE LEWIS!

Los Angeles, CA – On October 28 of last year, the entire music world mourned the loss of one of its most important foundational figures, the great Rock n’ Roll pioneer Jerry Lee Lewis, but for Linda Gail Lewis the loss was much more personal. She lost not only her brother but a music partner that had shaped her own life and career profoundly. And just as many millions of Jerry’s fans the world over sought solace in the many hundreds of songs Jerry Lee performed over the course of his life, so did Linda. In fact, she crafted an entire album of studio recordings that her brother made famous to not only celebrate the deep connection she shared with Jerry Lee but to also keep the memory of her brother alive.

Recorded at the legendary Sun Studios, where Jerry Lee Lewis along with Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and other founding fathers of rock, Linda Gail Lewis’s A Tribute To Jerry Lee Lewis is an album full of incredible performances, a jubilant celebration of rock music’s rollicking early years. The album was produced by rockabilly guitar extraordinaire Danny B. Harvey, who enlisted his friend and frequent collaborator Slim Jim Phantom of Stray Cats as well as his wife Annie Marie Lewis, who also happens to be Linda’s daughter. Linda has been performing some of these tracks for years but the studio versions have a whole new sonic energy. Just check out the first single to be released from the album, “Down The Line,” along with the fantastic video created while the group was recording in the hallowed Sun Studio halls.

Female Rockabilly Pioneer LINDA GAIL LEWIS, Sister Of Rock Legend JERRY LEE LEWIS, Shares New Collection Of Early Recordings From The ‘60s & ‘70s!

Los Angeles, CA – At a time when most female artists were content with crooning sappy love songs for mainstream audiences, vocalist and pianist Linda Gail Lewis was following her own muse, singing rowdy and rousing versions of early rock classics like “C.C. Rider,” “Jim Dandy” and “Baby (You’ve Got What It Takes).” The latter track might hint at what drove Lewis to blaze her own musical path as it is a duet with Lewis’s brother, well-known raconteur and rabble rouser Jerry Lee Lewis. Lewis would go on to record several times with her brother but also branched out to record several solo albums throughout the years as well as a 2000 album with Van Morrison and, more recently, has appeared on albums by Robert Gordon and Ann-Margret!

But it’s Gail’s early tracks that truly showcase her historic importance as a pioneer of rockabilly music, and these tracks have now been collected on a brand-new compilation, entitled Early Sides 1963-1973, giving fans of vintage rock and rockabilly a chance to discover her unique talents. The audio has been completely remastered by guitar icon Danny B. Harvey who had this to say about the collection “It’s a well-known fact that from 1961 until the late ‘70s, Linda Gail Lewis sang and stood beside her big brother Jerry Lee Lewis, both onstage and in the studio. Not as well-known is during that time she also managed to record her own amazing solo singles in Memphis, Nashville and LA with legendary musicians & producers like Scotty Moore, Jerry Reed, Harold Bradley, Reggie Young & of course her brother backing her.”

Check out the collection’s lead-off track, a fantastic version of “C.C. Rider!”
