Great Jerry Lee lewis I have never heard this acetat. I have a couple of Boxes of his rcordings from Sun 1956-1963. Both on LP and CD. This recordings from 1954 is just as great as those from 1956 and 1957.
This is definitely Jerry Lee on vocal and piano and any Jerry Lee fan should know it is the same vocal as the early Sun blues/oldtime country sessions. Jerry Lee is a very versatile singer and was a vocal stylist from the start. However, this is not the first JLL recording - check out "Don't stay away until love grows cold" from 1952.
It's definitely JLL. All artists voices sound a little higher on those old acetate records. Also, he was just a teen-aged boy...his voice was still developing.
Key to understanding how he came to play like this was likely his exposure to the enigmatic black barrelhouse pianist 'Old Sam' who has recently been identified.
@@hamletsmill258 yes, I had learned shortly after this comment that they told him no, then he went back after he got famous and he told the dude, “y’all turned me down a couple years ago.” And the dude said, “I would have never done that!”

These recordings from 54 have a little more Al Jolsen in them than the recordings from 56 and beyond.
Jolson. And fail to hear Jolson in this.
sounds like jerry's piano style a True Pioneer
His music came from the virgin woods, and thus was preceded by black stylists at least up to half a century before him. Jerry Lee simply recycled it.
definitely JLL - it has all of his vocal nuances - and trying to copy his hero Hank Williams
Didn’t he record these songs with bootleg wax records?? Or was he with a record label at this time???
Cheap acetate in Shreveport; he allegedly auditioned for the Louisiana Hayride.
