She Still Comes Around, by Jerry Lee Lewis, rose to No. 12 on the Billboard country album chart. She Still Comes Around closely follows the same formula as Another Place, Another Time had from the year before: "hardcore" country arrangements performed in a no-nonsense fashion by Lewis and the top studio musicians in Nashville. Lewis interprets the songs with authenticity; in his 2014 authorized biography Jerry Lee Lewis: His Own Story, Rick Bragg states that these new songs were "simple ballads about losing, wanting, and walking on. Jerry Lee sang of shared misery, of a familiar pain, and knowing they were not alone made it easier, somehow, for his audience to get up the next morning, go back out in the world and do it all over again." Produced by Jerry Kennedy, the album is another confident blend of honky-tonk and tear-in-your-beer ballads, the foremost being the Glenn Sutton title track, which peaked at No. 2 on the country singles chart. This was followed with To Make Love Sweeter For You, which topped the charts in 1969 (his first No. 1 since Great Balls Of Fire in 1958). Suddenly, in a remarkable turnaround, Jerry Lee Lewis was the hottest country artist in the business. The album includes another Merle Haggard song (the ballad Today I Started Loving You Again) as well as several country standards, including Release Me and the drinking lament There Stands The Glass. Out Of My Mind was composed by Lewis's longtime guitarist Kenny Lovelace. The album is also noteworthy for containing a rereading of his long-forgotten 1959 Sun single Let's Talk About Us. Producer Jerry Kennedy would be a crucial component of this second wave of success in the next decade, balancing Lewis's rock and roll instincts with the traditionally conservative country radio. In the 2009 book Jerry Lee Lewis: Lost and Found, Kennedy insists that "Jerry was one of the easiest people I ever worked with. I've heard a lot of stories of how he butted head with other people, but we always got along great. I didn't spend a lot of time socializing with him. He would come to town, come to my office, and we'd listen to songs, and then we'd go into the studio and record. And then he would go home."
