Jerry Phillips, son of Sam Phillips, producer, disc jockey, and founder of the legendary studio and record label Sun Records, is releasing his debut solo album, debut album For The Universe. Jerry grew up in the shadow of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis.

For The Universe, out August 23th, 2024 via Omnivore Recordings, was produced by Halley Phillips and Scott Bomar (The Bo-Keys) at Sam Phillips Recording in Memphis. Along with the announcement, Jerry Phillips has shared lead single “Good Side, Bad Side, Side Of Crazy Too.”

Jerry Phillips has made plenty of records in other roles. With his band The Jesters he recorded “Cadillac Man” for Sun Records. He’s also Produced, including soul music for Stax as well as one of John Prine’s Pink Cadillac, produced with his brother Knox.

Something that drove Jerry to finally record his own solo music at the studio was when it acquired the original Spectra Sonics console from Stax Studio B, which had captured soul classics like Rufus Thomas’ “The Funky Chicken” and much of the Isaac Hayes catalog. He was ready to be the first artist to record on it at its new Sam Phillips Recording location.
