So Texas

Seems like y'all consider this a great Country song by JLL. I don't disagree, but it feels like gospel to me. Whichever, it is especially good.

This song was recorded Oct,5,1970. It was never released on any of Jerry Lee's albums, It's only available on the Bear Family Box set, " Mercury Smashes ... And Rockin' Sessions". Fantastic, Gotta Love the Killer. His "Mercury - Smash" Years are his Greatest Recordings. (1963 - 1978)

Jerry Lee, love you!

[dajonasman]

Jerry Lee Lewis is old school. If this rendition was a sentiment to someone who raised him this is the way he recognized and loved her.  Since during his day any relation with a black woman no matter her role would have killed his career this truly had to be someone he loved and who loved him. I don't see why anyone would call this a disgrace someone took him in raised him even at her own peril/danger in those days and did the best she could.

[ultrapro0789]

wow

[fuzztonedaddy1]

I am sure this song was never released officially in the States.

It was considered too racially sensitive at the time but I understand

it was a big hit in Europe. Even today it is only available on import

box sets from Bear Family Records (Germany).

I was lucky to get it on a HQ bootleg

McGowan78 What is your problem  ? Your the disgrace for leaving those negatives those comments

[MrSamTunbull]

It don't matter what you are looking for, Jerry Lee delivers every time.

Just gorgeous

[2dasimmons]

Lucky Jerry! Is this biographical?

[sonny4467]

This song should be played on country radio across this nation.

[1234oldaa]

Isn't it ever beautiful? I was shocked when I first heard it.

Jerry Lee is the best!

[bobbysocksbaby21]

WOW, this is such a BEAUTIFUL song!! Especially since I've never heard it!

[largelester]

it definetly rubbed off on him

[spsmonktoo]

One Rolling Stone(the mag) critic called Jerry Lee Lewis the greatest country singer of all time. While I think that's

hyperbolic, Jerry Lee could sing anything as good as just about anyone! Great, great, performer!

[HossCurtis]

Great song -and as it's said here, Jerry had a way of making most any song his own! As it's shown here, he's also a great CW-artist aswell as rock'n'roller!

[dhdane]

mcgownan78. the disgrace here is you!!!!!!!! jerry lee is as good as jones or the hag.if you are a true fan you would know that he can sing anything and make it sound great.

[McGowan78]

I love Jerry lee but this song is a fucking disgrace.

[vandeldandel]

oh, wow man

[littletwonk]

this man can sing anything he,s the tops

[broxibear1941]

@littletwonk I agree with you. There is no 2 doubs he sure can sing. This is the 1st time that I have heard this song and to me it is fantastic.

[Jerry7800]

fantastic souly countrystyle- great performance!!

[LarryGeeLewis]

Great vocal, nevertheless...

[waltts]

Wow - what a message. Interesting song.

[jerryleelewisrox]

i love this. thank you so much for posting this.

[jimmyratz]

What a touching song. I wish it had been released back in 1970.

[gabe31g]

Wow this song is deep Ive never heard this one from jerry lee lewis Does anyone know when he recorded this song ?

[atletico45]

It was recorded on October 6, 1970 but not

released until 2000! It's included on the

CD Box "Mercury Smashes..and Rockin' Sessions". If you're a JLL fan it's ok to buy

this set which is absolutely fantastic but

rather expensive too (around 180€-200€.) It

holds 10 CD's of all that JLL recorded between 1970-1978.

[rodrigoraulsuarez]

Man, you are a good fan of the killer.

[sh959013]

good music from a legend!!!!
