Killer in Stereo: I've Been Twistin'
Jerry Lee Lewis
Jerry Lee Lewis’s Killer in Stereo: I’ve Been Twistin’ is a 2026 Sun Records archival collection drawn from the early-1960s period when “the Killer” was navigating the shifting territory between rock ’n’ roll, rhythm and blues, country, and the dance-craze pop of the twist era. Rather than a conventional new studio album, it assembles 12 recordings that showcase Lewis’s explosive piano attack, rough-edged Southern vocal delivery, and ability to turn familiar material into something forceful and volatile. The title track, released as a 1962 Sun single, is Lewis’s version of Little Junior Parker’s “Feel So Good,” recast as a pounding, blues-based rocker rather than a literal twist novelty.
The track list includes “It Won’t Happen with Me,” “Money,” “I’ve Been Twistin’,” an alternate version of “C.C. Rider,” “Hello Josephine,” “What’d I Say,” “Teenage Letter,” an alternate “Sweet Little Sixteen,” “Set My Mind at Ease,” “High Powered Woman,” “Livin’ Lovin’ Wreck,” and “Your Loving Ways.” These songs emphasize the breadth of Lewis’s Sun-era repertoire: Ray Charles-style R&B, Chuck Berry rock ’n’ roll, blues standards, country-tinged heartbreak, and raw boogie-woogie piano all pass through his unmistakable performance style. As part of the Killer in Stereo series, the release works as a focused snapshot of Lewis in transition—still ferocious and rhythmically commanding, but testing different formats as the original rockabilly boom receded.
