JERRY LEE LEWIS
Caribou [no label, 1CD]
Unreleased tracks from the Caribou sessions 1980. Very good soundboard.
Performing at Farm Aid in September 2008 must have generated interest in Jerry Lee Lewis and, thanks to abc777 who shared these tracks on the net, fans can listen to some of the songs from Lewis’s famed Caribou sessions in 1980, which have yet to be officially released. [There was a double CD with 36 tracks that circulated among fans but we’ve only got these 24 tracks.]
Also found on the net is this note from (writer/reviewer?) Phil Davis: “The Caribou Sessions 2CD… scrapped by Lewis’ antagonist and Nashville mogul former teen idol, Jimmie Bowen as ’sub-standard’ at the time, contains enough great moments to make a stonking album. A grudge carried over from the Jamboree movie perhaps?”
While not a greatest hits package, this collection does show Lewis in fine form and should appeal to all rockabilly fans. Memorable moments include the raved-up Tennesee Waltz and when Lewis turned into a dapper crooner with Autumn Leaves.

Wow…this was a great surprise to me…considering the little studio work that Jerry Lee lewis did from the the 80’s on, this is amizingly good and much better than the album Keeps Rockin that suffered from bad production.
These tracks are 100% Jerry Lee style and they cover all sides of his incredible style from r’n'r to boogie woogie to blues to gospel and what so ever else.The quality of the audio is also of great interest.
Enjoy it!

I came here to download a Bob Dylan album, saw this and downloaded it also. It’s fantastic, some of the best Jerry Lee I’ve ever heard. Thanks so much for this.

Classic J L LEWIS is an overwhelming event !
The golden age of rockabilly is gone ! Nothing duplicates the
magic of that musical time. Except, the honky tonk prince,
Jerry Lee Lewis. Thank you so much.

This is outstanding, vintage Jerry Lee. The piano mix on this collection is really upfront and makes his playing stand out much more than on any other album of his I’ve ever heard. Thank you so much for sharing this!
