Today's country sucks with people like Beyonce, Nas, jelly Roll and a whole bunch of others. So, I'm posting classic/traditional country music!!
Jerry Lee Lewis (September 29, 1935 – October 28, 2022) was an American pianist, singer and songwriter. Nicknamed "The Killer", he was described as "rock 'n' roll's first great wild man". A pioneer of rock and roll and rockabilly music, Lewis made his first recordings in 1952 at Cosimo Matassa's J&M Studio in New Orleans, Louisiana, and early recordings in 1956 at Sun Records in Memphis, Tennessee.
Tonight's double shot of great country music!
"Crazy Arms" has been covered many times by performers both in country music and other genres. In 1956, just weeks after its original release, the song was recorded at Sun Studios (Memphis) by a young Jerry Lee Lewis, marking the debut of The Killer's career.
"What's Made Milwaukee Famous (Has Made a Loser Out of Me)" is a song written by Glenn Sutton. The song's title is a reference to beer, specifically Schlitz beer, which for many years was advertised with the slogan, "The beer that made Milwaukee famous." In 1968, Jerry Lee Lewis released his version as a single.
