About
Lewis’ second—and final—album for Sun Records notably includes “Great Balls of Fire,” his career-making smash from four years earlier. But there’s plenty of other worthy material where that came from, like the romping rockabilly manifesto “Hillbilly Music” and the melodramatic murder yarn “Frankie and Johnny.” For all his tendency toward scenery-chewing flamboyance, the piano man proves restrained and sincere when tipping his hat to his heroes, covering songs by Hank Williams (“Cold, Cold Heart”) and Fats Domino (“Hello Josephine”) with obvious reverence.

The second Jerry Lee Lewis album.
The tracks order on front cover of original release is different from the one on labels and on vinyl itself.
So some of reissues have the tracklist as on front cover, and not as on original vinyl.
Track A3 title on original release is "Hillbilly Music" on front cover, but "Country Music Is Here To Stay" on label.
"Hello, Hello Baby" was recorded in March 1958 at Sun Studios in Memphis, TN.
