Jerry Lee Lewis - Cold Cold Morning Light (from 'I-40 Country', 1974)

I-40 Country (1974)

He Can´t Fill My Shoes / Tell Tale Signs / A Picture From Life´s Other Side / I Hate Goodbyes / I´ve Forgot More About You (Than He´ll Ever Know) / Tomorrow´s Taking Baby Away / Cold, Cold Morning Light / The Alcohol Of Fame / Where Would I Be / Bluer Words / Room Full Of Roses

Oh dear. Most of the best material from these sessions was clearly already released on the Sometimes A Memory Ain't Enough album, with the remainder released on this dirge. With a more sympathetic producer there's some OK songs with He Can't Fill My Shoes & Cold, Cold Morning Light being highlights, but as it stands this is without a doubt the worse proper album of Jerry's entire career. 2 out 5

Outtakes: The Gods Were Angry With Me

Apart from two songs taped in February 1974, both the Sometimes A Memory Ain't Enough & I-40 Country albums were recorded over three days in July 1973. The one outtake (released in the mid '80's) is nothing special though at least it's not as over-produced as most of the other issued songs.

@hpbt2001 I'm not posting entire albums, as I want to encourage people to buy them (you can easily get all the Smash-Mercury stuff via two Bear Family box-sets).

Wrote this in 70"s .Didn't really like it that much. Jerry made it a better song that it was.

This is the most underrated album of all time! I talk to Jerry Lee fans and they say this is not their favorite but I love this album - I sing "Hate goodbyes" myself and think that this LP is the best of its kind. JLL is blues and soul and R&B, he is rock 'n' roll too but he is also the best country artist of modern times and this shows here.

what a gem I remember this tune from the seventies jerrys country out put was greatly unrecognized in my opinion his honky tonk style was second to none
