Jerry Lee Lewis to release new EP and CD

Rock n’ Roll legend Jerry Lee Lewis will have a five song EP available exclusively as a download on Amazon.com on November 10th . The physical CD will be available via disc on demand on Amazon.com beginning on November 17th.

The EP will include:
“Swinging Doors,” Merle Haggard penned song and Merle performs with Jerry Lee on the track
“Rockin’ My Life Away,” with Kid Rock and Slash
“You Are My Sunshine,” with Sheryl Crow
“You Can Have Her,” with Eric Clapton and James Burton
“Mean Old Man,” Kris Kristofferson penned song and Kris performs with Jerry Lee on the track

Produced by Steve Bing and Jim Keltner, and Executive Produced by Phoebe Lewis, these are five songs from Jerry Lee Lewis’ full length album, which will be released in early 2010. This will be Jerry Lee’s first country release since the 1970s.

This marks the first new music from Lewis since the successful independent release Last Man Standing in 2006. Lewis continues to tour the world performing new songs and classic hits such as “Whole Lotta Shakin’” and “Great Balls of Fire.” Lewis sang one of those classic hits to open each of the 25th Anniversary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Concert shows on October 29th and 30th at Madison Square Garden. These two amazing shows are being edited into an HBO special that will air on Sunday, November 29th and will be a special issue of Rolling Stone Magazine coming out next week.
