Linda Gail Lewis

Family Jewels

(Cleopatra)

The truest worth of this live record lies not in the spirited reiterations of familiar chestnuts by Little Richard, Ray Charles, Bill Haley, and JLL, but in the lesser-known numbers; they hold especial reward and are well rendered. 

Of course, as Linda Gail is Jerry Lee's sister, she has a blood right to the much-loved standards. She conveys them with conviction and authentic zeal.
