Jerry Lee Lewis at age 86 is one of the true pioneers of rock’n’roll and, with perhaps the exception of Duane Eddy, has outlived all of his peers, despite his high-octane life style. He was one of the first rock artists to have his thrilling perfomances captured on a live album release, while as recently as 2010 Mean Old Man garnered some of his best album sales to date (Last Man Standing, 2006) remains his biggest seller). The only surviving member of the legendary Million Dollar Quartet, multiple Grammy Award winner Jerry Lee celebrated his 85th birthday in 2020 with a star-studded YouTube live stream.

1979 witnessed Jerry Lee’s first performance at the Palomino Club in Van Nuys, California. This legendary honkytonk was one of Lee’s favourite stomping grounds, and he was something of a favourite son with the patrons. He played for three nights from 18-20 June and there were further appearances in 1981 and 1985. In 1991, some thirty years ago, The Complete Palomino Club Recordings – a double CD set – was released on Tomato Records. The Tomato set was short-lived and is reissued here, worldwide, due to continuing demand.

There have been many releases of live Jerry Lee albums over the years, of varying quality, however At The Palomino must rate as one of his very finest. In May of the year 2022 – and not before time – it was announced that Jerry Lee had been inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, and many of his country hits are featured here.

You certainly get a whole Iotta Jerry Lee with this release!
