EU collection of previously unreleased Gospel recordings from the Killer himself. The truth is, these may be the best Gospel recordings Jerry ever made in his long career. he shouts, and proceeds to show US why, with a little spontaneous preaching and testifying between selections.

Liner Note Author: Hank Davis. Illustrators: Colin Escott; R.A. Andreas. Photographers: Colin Escott; R.A. Andreas. One of the key tenets in Jerry Lee Lewis' mythology is his fiery argument with Sam Phillips about God just prior to recording the master take of "Great Balls of Fire," so it comes as no surprise that the Killer holds salvation as closely to his heart as he does sin, yet he never recorded a full-blown religious record, which is what makes Bear Family's Old Time Religion such a find. Released initially as part of the 1986 series of LP box sets called The Killer, these recordings find Jerry Lee at Brother Davis' Church in Memphis on December 13, 1970, backed by a basic band featuring his son Jerry Lee Jr. on drums, Kenneth Lovelace on guitar and fiddle, Edward DeBruhl on bass, and William "Bill" David Strom on organ. It's a curious recording -- certainly looser than most church records, lively but not as infectious as the Killer at his peak, built on standards but containing no hits. In other words, it's the kind of album that is impossible to market, which is of course what labels are designed to do, so it sat on the shelf where it aged nicely, a recording more interesting in retrospect than at the time. If Jerry Lee isn't quite at home here in church, he's certainly in his element, tossing off hymns with authority, easing his way into spoken testimonials, inserting his name into the lyrics wherever he can, showing no shame in plugging the records they have for sale (he doesn't need the money, of course, but his sidemen do). All this makes for a religious record whose scale tips slightly toward the sinful over the saintly, but of course that's why it's worth hearing. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
