Jerry Lee’s backing band will include Steve Cropper (guitarist of Booker T & The MGs), Jim Keltner (drummer for Bob Dylan, Neil Young and more) and Jack Lawrence (bassist for The Raconteurs, Greenhornes, Loretta Lynn and The Dead Weather).
Lewis’s last release was the 2010 duets album “Mean Old Man” which featured collaborations with legends such as Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton, Solomon Burke and John Fogerty.
White has worked with a number of legendary artists, both as a performer and producer, including Jeff Beck, Bob Dylan and The Rolling Stones. Last year he produced Wanda Jackson’s album “The Party Ain’t Over.” The White Stripes formally disbanded in February after a long hiatus.
