Did you know Jerry Lee Lewis is a part of the Mississippi Country Music Trail?
His marker was dedicated to him in December 2019 and resides right in front of the Lewis Ranch!
You can see this and more when visiting! Tours at the Ranch are limited right now and we’re asking all of the Killer’s fans to stay safe and healthy during these times.

“Frustrated by Smash's inability to score a hit, Lewis was nearing the end of his contract when promotions manager Eddie Kilroy called him and pitched the idea of cutting a pure country record in Nashville. With nothing to lose, Lewis agreed to record the Jerry Chestnut song "Another Place, Another Time", which was released as a single on March 9, 1968, and, to everyone's amazement, shot up the country charts. At the time of the release, Lewis had been playing Iago in a rock and roll adaptation of Othello called Catch My Soul in Los Angeles but was soon rushed back to Nashville to record another batch of songs with producer Jerry Kennedy. What followed was a string of hits that no one could have ever predicted, although country music had always remained a major part of Lewis's repertoire.” From Wikipedia
