Jerry Lee Lewis I-40 Country Vinyl LP Mercury SRM-1-1196

Hit the open road with “The Killer” on Jerry Lee Lewis – I-40 Country, released in 1974 on Mercury Records (Catalog No. SRM-1-714 / SRM-1-1196). Featuring its memorable cover image of Lewis sporting sunglasses and a cigar in the cab of an eighteen-wheeler, this album celebrates the highway anthems, trucking themes, and heartbroken barroom stories that ruled 1970s country radio.

Produced by long-time collaborator and legendary Nashville producer Jerry Kennedy, the record pairs Lewis’ rollicking piano riffs with crying pedal steel guitars, brisk country rhythm sections, and emotive vocal deliveries. With multiple charting singles, I-40 Country remains a standout entry in Jerry Lee Lewis’ prolific 1970s Mercury catalog.
