Produced by Country legend Buddy Cannon (George Strait, Merle Haggard, George Jones), and recorded over 16 intense hours at Nashville s Blackbird Studios, SINNER captures Lewis mindset, a laid back soundtrack that is reminiscent of the genre s most honest and musically adventurous artists.

I d like to think that SINNER is a newer take on classic, traditional Outlaw Country, Waylon and Merle and Willie, and Hank Jr. and Johnny Cash and all that stuff, says Lewis. That was the music I heard a kid, and that s the Country music that permeated my soul and stuck with me my whole life.

While SINNER may surprise those unaware of Lewis lyrical depth and vocal authority, hard-core fans of his concerts (which he describes as a very healthy mix of cowboy hats, baseball caps, tattoos and black shirts ) will rejoice in having definitive copies of songs they ve been hearing live and on the Internet, some for a couple of years.
