KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week we are back in Sun Recording Studios, 706 Union Ave, Memphis for Jerry Lee Lewis and his pumping piano's version of "Crazy Arms", produced by Jack Clement and first released as a 10" 78RPM record in December 1956... ""Crazy Arms" is a song with a murky background as to who wrote what and when, but regardless it was a huge hit for Ray Price in the summer of 1956. It was also the first song that Jerry Lee ever recorded for Sun and he can be heard on it in all his young glory - swaggering and defiant (something that can be heard on all his best recordings). Guy Stevens rated Jerry Lee above all the other rockers and after "London Calling" was released, his dream was to make a record with The Killer backed by The Clash. Alas, he never pulled it off." KV
