Southern Swagger

Unique collection of Jerry Lee's most confident and aggressive performances. Southern Swagger' covers the entire Sun period through to his early 1970s recordings, including rare alternate takes and mixes. Jerry was barely past his teenage years when he began recording the music we present here. Each track, in its own way, reflects something about Jerry Lee's view of the universe and his place in it. As philosophies go, this one is pretty simple: raising hell and chasing women are what it's all about. For the first time, we gather a lusty collection of such performances on a single CD, both the issued tracks as well as some originally unissued alternate takes. For good measure, we throw in some unguarded studio chatter.
