Locust Years & Return to the Promised Land
(8-CD LP-sized box-set with 40-page book) In 1963 Jerry Lee signed with Smash Records, and battled the British Invasion, radio apathy and general neglect. The result was a lot of good music that fell on deaf ears. Here's everything from five frustrating years, including the complete contents of great Jerry Lee albums like Memphis Beat, Return Of Rock, Country Songs For City Folks, as well as wonderful forgotten singles like I'm On Fire and She Was My Baby, He Was My Friend. The set concludes with the country hits from 1968 and 1969, like Another Place Another Time, What's Made Milwaukee Famous and She Even Woke Me Up To Say Goodbye, when Jerry's career was spectacularly reborn in country music. As a bonus, there's a complete interview with music conducted in 1976.
