promotion assistant Barbara Barnes:
You've
just got hear Jerry Lee Lewis to know what he's like! He defies comparison to any other singerpianist in the history of show business, because his way of getting into the heart of a song and interpreting it from
the inside out is uniquely Jerry Lee.
This 21-year-old,
originally from Ferriday, La., and now from Memphis, is absolutely spontaneous in hos showmanship. When he sings, it's with abandon and enthusiasm, and the way he gives himself to a song makes the outcome so personal
it's almost embarrassing.
Whether he is performing for the
microphone alone, or thousands of people, Jerry Lee on a fantastic performance! He likes to play and sing almost anything – from rock and roll to spirituals and in each type song his magnetism is inescapable.
This electrifying element that pulls and holds audiences was given witness to by a fan, who wrote, ''I play your record over and over until the record player gets too hot. Then I take it over to a neighbor's house,
and we play it some more''.
Jerry Lee's individuality as an utterly natural almost native, singer
is most strongly felt in this album on ''Mean Woman Blues''. Rounding out the foursome are Jerry Lee's biggest hits to date, ''A Whole Lot Shakin' Going On'' and two blues ballads, ''I'm Feeling Sorry'' and ''Turn
Around''.

Liner notes written
by Sun's promotion assistant Barbara Barnes that reads: ''The four sides recorded by Jerry Lee Lewis in this album reflect the versatility of Jerry Lee Lewis, the singer and pianist.
First, there's a rocking version of ''Don't Be Cruel'' in the vein of Jerry Lee's many souped-up, high-powered hits. On reverse side, ''Put
Me Down'' is also in the rock and roll style, belted as only Jerry Lee Lewis can!
Nevertheless, Jerry Lee shines on ballads. He gives the old folk tune, ''Goodnight Irene'' a blues-y shuffle interpretation you've never heard before. The fourth number here is ''It All Depends'' given the full Lewis treatment. If it doesn't
move you, you've just got no sentimentality.
You will surely
enjoy Jerry Lee Lewis, his pumping piano, and four great numbers from this sensational artist's wide and varied repertoire''.

''Jerry Lee Lewis scored heavily with movie fans in MGM's ''High School Confidential'' and the title song recorded here will serve as a permanent reminder of Jerry Lee's magnetic performance.
Next
comes ''When The Saints Go Marging In'', interpreted by Jerry Lee in a manner that will no doubt strike you as something quite out of the ordinary. Only a person who has attended Southern religious camp meetings can fully appreciate the quality of fervor and
abandonment that Jerry Lee gives this selection. Whereas ''Saints'' is now thought of mostly as a Dixieland standard, this version goes back to its origin as an authentic fundamentalist religious songs.
Rounding out the foursome are a rocking number ''Matchbox'' and an original
and delightful novelty, ''It'll Be Me''.

of Johnny Cash live on stage. On the back cover, liner notes written by Sun's promotion assistant Barbara Barnes that reads:
''Only a few years have elapsed since Hank Williams was living - and singing his heart-touching songs. But already he has been accorded that type of immortality which comes
to men who have lived unique and important lives. The little people who enjoyed his music were important to Hank - and this is probably why they in turn idolized this man who was the symbol of all the warmth and sincerity and genuine
emotion that country music possesses.
Johnny Cash,
whose career with Sun Records has zoomed in recent months, is a singer who makes the same type pf appeal which Hank Williams did. Audiences like not only his singing and playing - they like him as a person. They trust him and they sense
that Johnny is their friend.
It is very appropriate that Johnny
Cash should keep alive the music and memory of Hank Williams through this album. Hank Williams fans are almost sure to be Johnny Cash fans, and vice versa. The numbers recorded here are representative of the best of Hank Williams as a
songwriter and the best of Johnny Cash as an artist.

Johnny Cash's second Extended Play album and has a paper picture sleeve with photo of Johnny Cash on the front. On
the back cover, liner notes written by Sun's promotion assistant Barbara Barnes that reads:
''How do you feel a country
boy from any other boy. Well, a Country Boy - likely as not - runs barefoot all summer, works hard by day, goes courtin' at night, fishing when the family gets a yen for trout, hasn't the money to buy the gadgets which makes life complicated.
A Country Boy grows up amid folklore and old-old ballads. Because most every Country Boy sings, he knows railroad songs and such. Without giving
it another thought, he runs through all the literary devices in a Ph.D.'s notebook - creating images and the like, to recreate an amusing incident.
A Country Boy has alert senses. He taste and smells and sees and hears the real things of life. A city boy is likely to perceive a lonesome train whistle through his mind. A Country Boy hears - and feels a train whistle.
A Country Boy is so simple he's almost sophisticated.
