Young Blood was released in 1995 by Sire Records and London Records. The album marked Jerry Lee Lewis's return to the mainstream, blending rock and roll with country and blues.
Produced by Andy Paley, James Stroud, and Lewis himself, the album features collaborations with artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jagger, and Tom Petty. The title track is a cover of the classic by The Coasters.
Although it did not achieve high chart positions, Young Blood was well received by critics for revitalizing Lewis's sound. The album showcases his characteristic energy and ability to fuse musical styles.
