Jerry Lee Keeps Rockin' is the 34th studio album by Jerry Lee Lewis, released on Mercury Records in 1978.
Jerry Lee Keeps Rockin' was Lewis's final album with Mercury Records, the label he had been with since 1963. Although Lewis was no longer scoring hits with the frequency that he had been earlier in the decade, the Waylon Jennings-flavored "I'll Find It Where I Can" hit the top 10 on the country chart. The album, however, only reached number 40 on the Billboard country albums chart. In the liner notes to the 1995 Mercury compilation Killer Country, Colin Escott observes that by this time producer Jerry Kennedy "had become tired of hassling with Jerry Lee Lewis, and the rewards were getting smaller. Jerry Lee's motivation for entering the studio was sapped by the fact that whatever he made in royalties and advances was being garnished by the IRS. When he didn't sound bored, he often arrived with a voice fried to a crisp from a long tour or two or three nights of roaring."[ citation needed ] "I thought it was healthy that he left," Kennedy explains in the 2006 box set A Half Century of Hits. "He was tired." Lewis confided to biographer Rick Bragg in 2014 that leaving was a "bad mistake. I should have never left Jerry Kennedy. I should have never left Mercury Records. 'Cause they were too good to me."

McEntire felt the need for change in record labels at the time as an opportunity to gain more independence in the material she recorded.

Out of a Dream is the second studio album by American country music singer Reba McEntire. It was released on August 27, 1979, through Mercury Records. The first single from the album, Last Night, Ev'ry Night, was McEntire's first top 30 hit, and the fourth single from the album, a cover of "Sweet Dream", was her first top 20 hit. Out of a Dream includes the song "Daddy", which is the first song written by McEntire to be included on one of her albums, and a cover of the Christine Kittrell song "I'm A Woman".

The album has been critically well received. In 2003, Rolling Stone listed the album at #245 in its list of "Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time", maintaining its rating in a 2012 revised list, and dropping to #325 in the 2020 update.
