Country Class was released in 1976 by Mercury Records, produced by Jerry Kennedy. The album reflects Jerry Lee Lewis's transition towards a more polished country sound, moving away from his early rock and roll roots.
The album includes covers of popular songs of the time, such as 'I'm Still Loving You' and 'I'm a Rocker'. Although not a massive hit, it kept Lewis relevant on the country charts of the era.
Recording took place at Mercury Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, with top session musicians. The album showcases Lewis's versatility as a country performer, though some critics considered it a minor entry in his discography.
