Jerry Lee Lewis - Touching Home 1971 MERCURY A33 8-TRACK TAPE
Touching Home is an album by Jerry Lee Lewis that was released on Mercury Records in 1971.
The single "Touching Home" would become Lewis's twelfth Top 10 country hit since 1968 and the title track for his third Mercury album of 1971. Lewis gives a riveting performance on the song, his vocal conveying the emotional torment found in the lyrics as he moans "No longer do I wonder why men have lost their minds, or wind up in a jungle of flashing neon signs." A second single, "When He Walks On You (The Way You Have Walked On Me)," barely missed the Top Ten, peaking at number 11. The album also includes Kris Kristofferson's "Help Me Make It Through The Night," a song Lewis greatly respected; in 2014 he told biographer Rick Bragg that the song was a "masterpiece...You don't mess with Kristofferson." Lewis was also in the habit of occasionally recording songs written by his younger sister Linda Gail Lewis, such as "Foolish Kind of Man," which she penned with her husband and Lewis guitarist Kenny Lovelace.
Jerry Lee Lewis (born September 29, 1935) is an American rock and roll and country music singer and pianist. An early pioneer of rock and roll music, his career faltered after Lewis married his young cousin, and he afterwards made a transition to country music.
Lewis was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986 and his pioneering contribution to the genre has been recognized by the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. In 2008 He was inducted into the Hit Parade Hall of Fame. In 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked him number 24 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. In 2003, they listed his box set All Killer, No Filler: The Anthology number 242 on their list of "500 greatest albums of all time".
"What's Made Milwaukee Famous (Has Made a Loser Out of Me)" is a song written by Glenn Sutton. The song's title is a reference to Schlitz beer's slogan.
In 1968, Jerry Lee Lewis released his version as a single. It became a top 10 hit on Billboard's Country chart and also made a minor impact on the Billboard Hot 100.
In 1971, writer Sutton's wife Lynn Anderson recorded a version for her album How Can I Unlove You.
In the United Kingdom, a version by Rod Stewart charted at #4 in 1972 as a double A-side with "Angel."
The Del McCoury Band recorded the song on their album, A Deeper Shade of Blue. Country artist Hank Thompson recorded another version, as did Johnny Bush.
More recently, a live version appeared on Irish-American punk band Flogging Molly's 1997 release Alive Behind the Green Door.
The Texas band What Made Milwaukee Famous takes its name from this song.
